The Liquid Large File Editor can work with arbitrarily large lines. Most editors (even other large file editors) fail when presented with a single line of text a few MB in length. Liquid Large File Editor copes with it instantly, but there are always trade off's....

 

In order to keep the editor fast, and make it possible to work with documents that contain very long lines, when a single line grows larger than 2KB it is wrapped. The marker Lien Wrap Marker is appended to the wrapped line to indicate this.

This works fine when you are scrolling downwards through a file, however if you scroll up, you may come to the end of a very long line (maybe its a GB line), without scanning backwards indefinitely thought the file, the editor sometimes makes a call, and shows the text wrap from the end, this can look a little odd when you hit the top of the block, but avoids having scan back an indefinite distance.

 

When you scroll down the results are as expected

Occasionally when scrolling up a file you may see this instead.
