Thread: Fields with long values show as blank in grid

Fields with long values show as blank in grid

From

Sometimes with Pgadmin III, I view a table that has a column of unrestricted length.

It appears that if a cell in this column has too many characters, it displays as a blank cell in the grid. If I select that blank cell, press Ctrl-C, then paste into another program, then it is clear that there is in fact data that is not displaying.

Here's a sampling of lengths of fields that show up as blank cells:
  • 5361
  • 6201
  • 5067
  • 5151
  • 6705
  • 6747
  • 7923

This is a known issue we need to work on. Won't be part of 1.14 though.

Thanks. I didn't see it in your web site bugs list (http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin3/bugs.php), but maybe I missed it?

You're right, it's not on this page. But this is nevertheless a known
issue (at least, known by me :) ). It's recorded over there:
