You said that some lines in the Logview buffer are long, but I bet they are never longer than, say, 100000 characters. As I told you, the general fix will be to adapt Logview to handle locked narrowing, by explicitly unlocking the locked narrowing when it needs to access a larger portion of the buffer. You were somewhat reluctant at that idea.
