Description Devin Rousso 2020-04-14 12:31:01 PDT
# STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. inspect any page
2. evaluate `console.log(true, "NaN".repeat(1000) + "Batman!");`
3. select the logged message and copy it
4. paste anywhere
 => only the first 140 characters of the string are copied, and there is no disclosure arrow to expand the message and allow the full string to be shown

So how does this look when you log a long string?

Nice! Could be tested.

It looks the same as it does right now in that the truncated string is shown inline, but there's now a disclosure arrow that expands the list of non-simple arguments in the same way that `console.log(true, [globalThis]);` would, putting the full string on it's own line/item.

I think this is simple enough that it doesn't need a test.  If we change the maximum length in the future, having to remember to update a test as well seems like an extra unnecessary step.  Plus, nothing else in this file is tested since it's really all view code.
