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 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. :) -- Chris Forsythe @The_Tick <http://twitter.com/The_Tick> On Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 1:10 AM, Francis McGrew wrote: 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.
