Summary
The Minecraft Launcher crash dialog does not properly display long error messages. When an exception contains a long file path (such as an UnsatisfiedLinkError referencing a native library), the text extends beyond the dialog boundary and is clipped instead of wrapping or providing a horizontal scrollbar.
Environment
Launcher: Minecraft Launcher
Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit)
Steps to Reproduce
Launch Minecraft and trigger a crash that produces a long exception message (e.g. an UnsatisfiedLinkError containing a long native library path).
Wait for the "Crash report shared" dialog to appear.
Expand the details section.
Expected Result
Long lines should wrap within the available dialog width, or
The details view should support horizontal scrolling, or
The dialog should resize appropriately to display the complete message.
Actual Result
The exception text extends outside the visible area of the dialog and is truncated. Users cannot read the complete error message directly from the launcher.
Impact
Makes troubleshooting more difficult.
Users cannot easily copy or inspect the full exception.
Important parts of the stack trace or file path may be hidden.
Additional Notes
The issue is reproducible when exception messages contain long file system paths, such as native library loading failures (e.g. lwjgl_opengl.dll).
