Search results don't wrap
The results of my searches don't wrap, so I'm left with one very very long line of an event.
I saw in this post, that it was mentioned that there could be some custom changes to css that could be made to resolve this.
http://splunk-base.splunk.com/answers/10787/search-results-are-not-wrapping-cant-scroll-right
Does anyone have more information on how to do this, or what an example would look like?
Thanks.

Reduce the number of results per page and the horizontal scroller should reappear.

I see this same problem, but only when the log doesn't have a space for the display code to break on. In other words, a long log line with no space characters will not wrap. If ONE line has this issue, it makes the whole display super wide, so even those lines with spaces will not wrap when they normally would.
They need to include commas, colons, dashes, pipes, others? in the list of breakable characters.

I also have this problem. Funny that it happens in Chrome and IE8 with some users/machines. But on IE8 it works with other machines/clients

Have you tried going to the flash timeline view, clicking on options..., then check the wrap results checkbox?
