Error message overflows window
Description
A failed backup lead to an error message long enough to overflow the window. No scroll bar was available, so reading was only possible by dragging window partially off the top of the screen, then enlarging the window.

Yes, could be solved better. And we already do some output parsing and could catch this and treat it differently.
We should first see how we want to solve it. Maybe as larger window, similar to Vorta's own exceptions.

Vorta's own exceptions could serve well. But what would be the best ways to catch exceptions outside of the Vorta's main thread?
This could be a good addition to my projects ('Error handling & report wizard' one). What do you think?

We can show a few lines and add a Read More button, which would open a scrollable window with all the details.
@m3nu Should I remove the error from here and just open an exception box as done in #1977?
Yes, I would use the same error box for Vorta AND Borg exceptions. Even if their content will be a bit different and the source they come from.
Sure, will take this up as soon as I'm done with my proposal submission.
