Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Long, potentially important error messages in Disk Utility's console middle truncate instead of wrapping.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have an encrypted Time Machine drive that is having a bad day.
2. Attempt to verify or repair the volume.
3. Get an error. The error is presented in a dialog box.
4. Click OK to dismiss the dialog box.
5. Have a need to refer back to the error.

Expected Results:
The error is visible, in full, in the log.

Actual Results:
The error is middle-truncated, potentially hiding important or even critical information. I forget exactly what this one said in the middle, but it was something like "you should erase and reformat the disk".

Version:
10.10.1 (14B25)

Notes:
Sorry for the poor screenshot quality. Long story.
