Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the linked Sentry issue details page with an exception containing many newlines, using the attached example as a reference. Investigate how the long exception value is displayed and define a collapsed presentation that preserves access to the full value without consuming excessive vertical space. Done means the details page remains readable while the complete exception can still be viewed.
