truncated lines

truncated lines

[Peter Lee]

I posted in another thread that I was having problems with truncated
lines.  Namely:

1. In the sqli process buffer the contents are truncated at the edge
   of the frame and wrapped.  This is undesireable.  Is there a way to
   turn off the truncation?  (truncate-lines and
   truncate-partial-width-windows are both nil).

Is there another variable I should be looking for ?  Or perhaps I need
to run a hook for the sqli-mode.

I don't think this is sql specific, hence the new thread.

TIA.

That is wrong. Truncation means that the text *doesn't* wrap, but
rather continues outside the window where you don't see it. So you
want to turn *on* truncation by setting those variables to t instead.

Right.  Thanks Johan.
