Problem/Motivation

The output at admin/reports/debug is just a loooong list of text.

Maybe this could be improved, for example by grouping per entry using a separator or something?

What do you think?

@anybody, could you elaborate on your grouping idea? Specifically, how it would be done: Shall we group by date/time or detect duplicate entries that follow one another? Apart from that, I don't see many more ways to compact the design in a way that does not make assumptions about the message contexts that we cannot make.

Another idea to get what you want out of the list would be a search feature, but the implementation of that will likely be open to debate again, of course.

@lrwebks I don't remember anymore, maybe you could post a screenshot of the current situation here?

One thing that would make sense to me is to put each message into a "details" element that can be expanded, collapsed by default with basic information in the header (message title and time)?

Title: Improve message display » Compact message display by using a table

As just discussed, I think a table would make a lot of sense to be more like watchdog and get one result per line.
Maybe we could even make it sortable, I'm not sure yet, how difficult that would be.
