Config string output is truncated to an arbitrary length of 30 chars.

For power users it would be great to increase this.

Here's a patch that implements a variable for this.

It already saved me tons of clicks to check configuration.

To use it do something like:

variable_set('rules_ui_config_truncate', 999);

No gui configuration yet or variable.module description yet, this can be a followup.

I know this is an old issue, but it's still true ...

Patch in #2 adds a system variable, but does not supply a way to modify this variable on the rules settings page (admin/config/workflow/rules/settings) and does not remove the system variable in hook_uninstall().

An alternative might be to add a tooltip to display the entire summary on mouse over.

This has been implemented in D8 using the method I suggested in #4. I am not planning to backport this to D7 because there has been no interest from the community for this feature in more than 6 years and because we are focusing on D8 right now - we're not adding new features to D7 unless there is significant demand and contribution.
