Intruder truncates the display of text

Hi, The Intruder "Payload Positions" windows truncates text making it impossible to select as part of an intruder attack.

Hi Michael, This is an issue that we are aware of and our development team is currently working on a fix for it. We will let you know when this fix has been implemented in a future Burp release. This issue only impacts JSON requests that have been copied to Intruder from another Burp tool so, in the meantime, a workaround for this issue is to copy your request outside of Burp, into a text editor, and then into Intruder. Obviously this is not ideal but should improve things for you whilst we work on creating a fix.

I can confirm today Early Adopter fixes the issue. Thanks.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the confirmation.

Been going on for a while... happy to see someone working on this. And by the way, the "workaround" presented doesn't work for my install. cheers.

Hi Jean-Sebastien, Just to confirm, the issues with requests in Intruder should now be fixed in the later 'early adopter' versions of Burp - if you obtain the 2022.3.5 release from our releases page (here - https://portswigger.net/burp/releases) are you able to confirm that this is the case?
