1282481 - Browser Console doesn't handle long error lines well

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Attachment: screenshot of browser console at a reasonable width

The Browser Console needs to be more aggressive about word-wrapping long error messages.  Please see the attached pair of screenshots, in which I have to make the window ridiculously wide in order to see the error locations, and even then they're ellipsized into uselessness.

The major problem appears to be with blobs of JSON dumped into the error console, which might usefully get pretty-printed; if that's too much work, I suggest treating commas and colons as acceptable line-break positions (maybe even "all Unicode punctuation except for quotation marks", but there doesn't seem to be a Unicode category for quotation marks, so that might also be too much work).

Attachment: this is how wide I have to make it to get rid of the horizontal scrollbar

The issue is fixed, we do wrap everything on the console.
