Inside the table, this is only because you have "Full Description" checked right? I think normally it only shows the first line. I think the size/expandability of the datatip is something that may be addressed by @matthewwithanm's rewrite of the UI. I'll create a separate issue to track the lack of markdown (along with all the other missing features).
The description for that setting is talking about traces (a little used feature of the v1 API), it definitely shouldn't be controlling description display as that was very much meant to be displayed only when requested (it was tested with entire web pages being rendered in there during development...).
But yes, I did have it enabled 😉.
Ah we should rename the feature description. It also toggles displaying newlines in the table (note that it's not really a setting - it's toggled by the checkbox right inside the table).
There is no checkbox in the panel controlling that setting btw, even when the experimental UI is enabled (at least in v0.3.3).
It looks like the checkbox you were talking about has shown up in v0.4.0.
@hansonw Actually, checking on this again it looks like this isn't just from having the "Full description" checked:
Everything after [Consider refactoring.] is part of the description and shouldn't be showing here.
Also, the Full description option only seems to control whether newlines are rendered in the panel for descriptions, not whether they show at all.

Just as an example of how annoying this is compared to the other implementations...
atom-ide-ui's giant wall of text:
linter-ui-plus:
linter-ui-default:
The other implementations display a clean list of messages, with only the excerpt showing by default. atom-ide-ui displays a wall of text that takes far more attention to parse out the relevant information from.
I definitely don't consider this an enhancement, but a bug.
