We could do the same as the print of long Lisp values ...
showing only some bindings
followed by ... -- and make it clickable with the mouse to show
the whole thing.
But after the release!
That sounds OK too. Or provide a horizontal scroll bar. Users should have
some way of seeing all the values, without changing the width.
Before the release, can we at least truncate or fill, so the width problem
is fixed? Thx.
