+The default ``verbose`` format of the VUnit display handler indents the lines
+of the traceback to the column where the message starts, after the time, the
+logger name and the log level. With the long logger name of a session made from
+an instance name and the absolute file paths of a traceback, the lines can be
+wider than the terminal, which wraps them back to the first column and breaks
+the alignment. The ``level`` format leaves out the time and the logger name and
+indents the traceback by the width of the log level only:
