Description Robert Scheck 2005-02-11 21:41:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
MTR's report layout changed drastically and longer hostnames are cut of now.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mtr-0.69-2

How reproducible:
Everytime, see below.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install MTR 0.54
2. mtr -c 5 -4 -r google.com
3. Install MTR 0.69
4. mtr -c 5 -4 -r google.com
5. Compare the outputs
  
Actual results:
MTR's report layout changed drastically and longer hostnames are cut of now.

Expected results:
Longer hostnames shouldn't be cut of like in 0.54 - a larger limit is okay.

The problem here is that with later mtr version a new field with the stdev has
been added which takes away approx. 6 chars and the width isn't fully used.

I'll see if i can squeeze out a little more space with the display, but your
patch would actually make the lines longer than 80 chars which would then look
horrible on any standard 80 char terminal.

Read ya, Phil

OK, i've managed to squeeze out quite a bit actually. The layout changed a
little bit, but the overall appearance is a lot better.

Patch will be included in next release, and the output especially for reports
will look like this:
