The only issue I've run into isn't the 5 lines, but that if the
notification contains a file path (/Users/name/path/to/some/file.ext) it
can be hidden if it is too long because it doesn't wrap it there's no space
to force a line break.

 We've taken the position that a notification is something that should be
small. We have the checkbox you are referring to because some people about
6 years ago decided to argue on irc for 3 days straight about this, and
finally I just had to make a decision on it.

Growl displays notifications, that's the bottom line. If it's more than 5
lines, is it really a notification anymore? Our thoughts are that no, these
are not notifications, but something more. I can understand where you are
coming from, but at the end of the day we feel that a notification should
be some small tidbit of information, and if you want to know more you can
click to see it. :)

Since notifications are limited to 5 lines by default, if a single line is
too long it will take up two lines, and the bottom lines will be cut off.
 Since my app displays song titles/albums that can be very long, I have to
implement my own clipping code to make sure all my 5 lines are displayed.
 This is kind of a hack, so I want to request a mechanism to have Growl
clip long lines to a single line by truncating the tail or middle with an
ellipsis.  Thanks.
