Matlab displays truncated output with elipses. How do I fix this?

For some reason my Matlba refuses to display anything larger than 10 lines of code or so. It even does this when I print to PDF but not to Word. How do I solve this?

I've never observed that behavior...wonder if TMW has introduced a new parameter into the command window preferences options to limit the number of elements echo'ed to the screen.
Which release are you using?
Check preferences for the command window and see if there is something there. I'm at R2017b here at the moment and not included in it (or not where I looked, if so).
I'm on Version R2019a. It's been a real pain. Especially since these values can easily all be displayed on a page. I've looked din preferences and through all sorts of settings. There aren't many/if any questions related to this out there on the web.
How are you doing the print to pdf? Are you using Report Generator?
I'm simply exporting it to pdf.
I can easily reproduce that behaviour (2019b) but what's not mentioned is that it's using the live editor (with inline display, but the ellipsis appear in all display modes).
As I'm not familiar with the live editor, it's not something I can help with. I assume it's meant to be this way.
The regular matlab command prompt does not have this issue.

As far as I can tell, this is and has always been normal behaviour in the live script editor.
Same as with normal scripts, you can use disp to display variables of any size without truncation in the live editor:

Thank you! I tried it and it worked out. I never thought of that extra step.
And I, like G, am totally unaware of/never have used/probably never will use the live editor...

I have the same issue... in my case what I need is to be able to save it as a pdf non-truncated...
