Description

Using pidcat 2.0.0 in OSX Yosemite 10.10.5. pidcat truncates the logs when their length exceeds the terminal window's width.

Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a way I could overcome this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in pidcat 2.0.0 on a terminal with a log line longer than the terminal width, then locate the output-handling entry point. Confirm the behavior against the reported environment and make sure complete log lines remain visible or otherwise usable when they exceed the terminal width.
