This issue is still present in Octave 4.2.0.

When I type

clear, M = uint8(ones(8,4));


then I still don't see all elements of this matrix in the workspace pane, no matter how wide I make the columns.

Thanks for your bug report. I can confirm this on the current development branch. The "Value" column in the "Workspace" panel is truncated at some number of characters no matter how wide the column is made.

I am not sure how useful this would be to fix, since all of the elements of the variables are crammed into a single cell. Being able to view the full contents of the variable in a popup might be more useful, there have been patches proposed to provide an interactive data viewer or editor.

Hi,
  While stepping through the debugger in Octave GUI, i noticed that  the values for matrix variables is not being displayed in entirety, even though I adjust the vertical separation bars for the workspace groups like Name, Dim, Value, etc.  Even if the value  row is big enough to hold a lot of rows, only the first couple of rows are getting displayed.  The display gets cut off, once a certain length of digits is reached. For e.g, create a integer matrix with 4 elements in each row. Create 8 columns or so. Now, you can see the workspace display is not showing as much as the space available in value section.
