I was trying to show the content of a php variable in a line. The variable
contain a complete file and it was shown only if the file was less than 1700
bytes. Windows explorer show everithing even for bigger files. The problem could
be or in the line length or in the variable lenght. The variable infact is a
long character string witout space.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.in a php file i charge a file content in a variable 
2.with the same php file i produce an html file to show the variabile content

Actual Results:  
the content is troncate

Expected Results:  
show all the content of the variable

Never heard of nl2br() to break up your line ?

Comment 2

[Jo Hermans]

Reporter, do you want Mozilla to break up the line (there are several bugs open
on that), or do you really want us to display a 1700+ character line ? If the
latter, please explain why this is so important. I fail to see why this is an
advantage.

Aslo, please provide us with a test-URL.

Attachment: Testcase: a line with more than 2000 characters (html)

Testcase WFM (also works in a text only file) on Win2k.

Marco, with current Mozilla builds, is this still a problem for you?
I assume that there were special characters in the file...
