Nice, I actually had the same thought of a "copy" icon because a text area would look super messy. I'll make two feature request for this later: 1) Copy to clipboard and 2) "Show full value" or something to open a dialog with the whole mess

Cheers

Agreed - I also like the "Copy to Clipboard" idea.

    Hi Hannes,

    Good request.
    I think it's mainly the way it is for not cluttering the - already
    heavy - interface too much. And potential performance problems if
    someone tries to put the complete qgis source code into the
    preview (... that might lead to other problems too ...)

    I'd propose an on-demand popup and integrate a "copy to clipboard"
    action at the same time.

    That would justify a feature request on github.

    Cheers
    Matthias

        Hi list,

        when developing QGIS expression the preview string output of the
        evaluation at the bottom of the dialog (e. g. Field
        Calculator) is super
        helpful. But it gets cut off after ~60 characters so for
        longer returns
        you cannot see them fully.

        Is there an important reason for that cutoff or would it
        theoretically
        be possible to display the whole return value (e. g. in a
        scrollable
        area if needed)? Maybe that would require a safety limit at a
        couple of
        thousand characters but it would allow for more insight.

        Cheers
        Hannes
