            Bug ID: 29146
           Summary: TUI disassembly with long symbols is unreadable,
                    impossible to scroll horizontally
           Product: gdb
           Version: 11.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: tui
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: byron.c.hawkins at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 14101

screenshot of the error

With `set print symbol off` in TUI mode layout ASM, GDB continues to print
symbols in the disassembly pane. When the symbol names are long, the opcodes
and operands are pushed off the right of the screen where they are totally
invisible. There is zero mechanism whatsoever to scroll right. 

The symbols are useless here. Notice how the same symbol is printed on every
line. If it is absolutely necessary to print the symbol somewhere, you may
consider printing it once. It is not a reasonable idea to print the symbol on
every line. The code for this feature should be permanently removed.

I can scroll just fine left and right with the arrow keys.

And I think this is a duplicate of PR15580.

Marking as a dup.
There were some patches going around to change how this
info is shown -- to show the function name on a separate
instead of (? I think) as a prefix.
Seems like a good idea to me, but I don't know the status.
