badly formatted JDBC output (a regression w.r.t. 1.7b3)

           Summary: badly formatted JDBC output (a regression w.r.t. 1.7b3)
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 1.9.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Joerg-Cyril.Hoehle@t-systems.com


Hi,

the current "view result tree" output for JDBC requests is a regression against 
1.7b3.
Back in 1.7.b3, large output got a horizontal scrollbar and there was one 
display line per SQL column.
Now in 1.9.1, long lines are folded, like with tty terminals, so large column 
output becomes unreadable because unrelated columns appear above each other.

For the history record, 1.7.3 and 1.8 were severely broken in this respect, they 
just showed org.apache...JDBCSampler@ac3ef70 in text area.

I suggest as enhancement to re-establish an improved version of 1.7b3.

The improvement is necessary because sometimes, column output is not in vertical 
columns (probably some TAB expansion issue?). Here is an example:
AbkId	Abkz	Bedeutung	Hinweis
1	RAID	Redundant Array	null
2	PO	Purchase Order	null
3	ES	E??-Security	null
which appears nicely in columns in this bug-report form, but not in JMeter's 
display... More precisely, the first "null" appears shifted to the right, 
probably because "Redundant Array" just ends before the left side of column 
"Hinweis".

Another improvement could be to use GUI objects for column output instead of a 
text widget, so that the width of the columns could be resized. Actually, I was 
pretty sure I had seen this in the old JMeter, but now that I used 1.7b3 again 
for reporting this issue, it seems like my memory was wrong.

Maybe using GUI widgets would kill performance for large query results?

Regards
