Description
The option Edit → Configure → Worksheet → Display → Display all and allow linebreaks in long numbers does not appear to have any effect on how long numeric results are displayed. Even when this option is enabled, the output for expressions like factorial(1000) is rendered incorrectly, requiring horizontal scrolling to view the full result.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Edit → Configure → Worksheet → Display and enable "Display all and allow linebreaks in long numbers".
- Click OK / Apply to save the settings.
- Enter
factorial(1000) in a new cell and evaluate it.
Expected Behavior
The result should be displayed in full with automatic line breaks, so that no horizontal scrolling is needed. This matches the behavior achievable via the right-click context menu option "Show all + allow linebreaks in long numbers".
Actual Behavior
The result is displayed across multiple lines, but only a portion of it is visible within the current viewport. The user must either scroll horizontally or manually right-click the output cell and select "Show all + allow linebreaks in long numbers" to get the correct display.
Workaround
Right-click the output cell and select "Show all + allow linebreaks in long numbers" — this works correctly, but should not be necessary if the global setting is already enabled.
