Are you talking about the traceroute window inside of winbox, or traceroute

You can resize the columns in the traceroute window just fine.  Is there a

Re: [AFMUG] Simple mikrotik question at this early hour

[Adam Moffett]

Yeah.  I think that adds more columns, but the first column doesn't 
scale up so he'll never see those long hostnames in traceroute.  
Probably nothing to be done about it.

Winbox I presume? Maybe your version of Winbox is too old? I'm using 
Winbox 6.46.2, and you can resize the terminal window any which way.

[AFMUG] Simple mikrotik question at this early hour

[Nate Burke]

I'm having a brain fart at this early hour.  Is there a way to resize 
the terminal window so that it will give you more horizontal column 
space?  I'm running a traceroute with DNS lookups from the command line, 
and it cuts off half the name because the column is too narrow.
