@ikloecker I guess, this issue is not specific to smartcard errors?

I suggest to close this ticket. There will always be situations where the layout is suboptimal.

Yeah, ok.

But I wonder anyway if we could a) sometime in the future implement a heuristic to insert a break before an error message if there is not enough space for it or b) only give the filename in these kinds of messages. The path is not important in this case, at least. I'm not sure if the path is important in other cases, too, though.

And these kind of error messages did look better in the past:

But that would be another ticket in any case, as I'd see this as not smart card related.
