[slime-devel] Re: Problem with truncation of strings in debugger

When I evaluate (format t "~A" (some-str-function)) on a longish string in debugger with E, the string is printed truncated, which seems like the wrong behavior to me.

Also, surprisingly when I evaluate (setf *str* (some-str-function)) from debugger, the string stored in *str* is truncated as well.

That suggests to me that the debugger is modifying the behavior of (format nil ...) or other functions I use in constructing strings used internally in my program, which would obviously be very bad and could interfere with operation of the program.

*print-lines* is 10 in the debugger. You can customize that by modifying swank:*sldb-printer-bindings*.
