Explore panel logs are stacked on each other

My environment:

  • Grafana 13.0.1
  • Kubernetes 1.35.2
  • Chrome 149.0.7827.103

This is a new deployment, and when exploring the logs, the entries appear to stack on top of each other. I can clear it with a browser refresh, but when I run another query, it reverts to a jumbled mess.

I currently have line wrap disabled, the smaller font, and deduplication is set to none.

Here is what it looks like.

Is this a known Chrome issue? Are there any suggestions that anyone can provide? It gets annoying fast.

Thanks!

Try enabling Wrap lines → as per official Grafana documentation

this wraps long lines to fit within the visible width of the viewer and can fix the stacking display issue.


when i use wrap lines enabled the logs are stacking differently

In Grafana 13 this option is found here:

Explore → Logs panel → right side options
→ Click "Wrap JSON" dropdown
→ Select "Enable line wrapping"

If it still persists, try Firefox or Edge to confirm if Chrome-specific,

I had tried using word wrap prior. Tried it again on Chrome and got the same result.

I am currently trying out Zen Browser (Firefox-based), and I get the same results:

My laptop is running MacOS Sequoia v15.7.4 if it matters.

Thanks
