Public bug reported:

The Log File Viewer displays cryptic abbreviations followed by an equals
sign to present items in the log. People find this layout difficult to
read and interpret. It's not an efficient way to present the
information. A more human friendly layout is possible. For example, a
Nautilus like "List" or "Details" view with headers. Information would
list under its corresponding header and accordingly be easily found and
interpreted.

The current layout & manner of presenting log information should be
changed to a more "human friendly" presentation.
