Am fairly sure it didn't use to do this. Is really annoying when using edebug and am unable to see a complete string (the important part is being truncated). -- Joe Riel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

What do you want it to do instead? The mode line must be a single line. > Am fairly sure it didn't use to do this. Actually, it always did.

Please see description for variable `mode-line-format' Then you can make it so to see what you wish. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.

The solution I was given was to set edebug-print-length to nil (or some reasonable length, the default 50 is rather short). -- Joe Riel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
