The manual for journalctl for artful indicates that the default should
be the full line.
--no-full, --full, -l
Ellipsize fields when they do not fit in available columns. The
default is to show full fields, allowing them to wrap or be truncated by the
pager, if one is used.
The old options -l/--full are not useful anymore, except to
undo --no-full.
Do you happen to know from which release the crash report you saw had
ellipsized lines?

Title:
useless diagnostics in DpkgTerminalLog from journalctl due to ellipses
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Many of the apport hooks try to include some information about why a
service didn't start correctly. One recent report included the
following:
May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux systemd[1]: Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell
serv....
May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux sshd[2500]: /etc/ssh/sshd_config line 64:

May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux systemd[1]: [0;1;39mssh.service: Main process
exited, ...a[0m

May 26 18:39:19 ux305ua-linux systemd[1]: [0;1;39mssh.service: Failed with
result 'e....[0m
Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.
The actual error information is this:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 64: miss....
and
Failed with result 'e....
This is very nearly useless.
We should include the -l parameter as suggested so that we stand a
chance of seeing an error that doesn't occur in the first twenty
characters of program output.
Thanks
