(also: journalctl doesn't truncate lines when doing auto-paging)
It most certainly does, at least on an up-to-date F18 system. The truncation behavior is even DIFFERENT between "journalctl" and "journalctl -f" modes!
Well, "journalctl -f" dosn't do auto-paging. "journalctl" (without -f) does. So here you go.
And, despite your statement to the contrary, "journalctl" (without -f) does truncate long lines. The difference is that "journalctl" just chops them off, while "journalctl -f" does the nutty "chop characters columns-4 to linelength-1 and replace them with dots" bit.
