Thanks for the reply. Yes, sorry, I should have said that the behavior is the same to Notification Center. To test this a bit more, I made a simple workflow that just does:
cat {query} and pipes into either growl or notification center.
I then did 'vim /tmp/a.txt' which looks like this:
/tmp$ cat /tmp/a.txt
Here I will type a very very very very very very long line of text.
Here is short.
Here I will type another very very very very very very long line of text.
Another short is here.
/tmp$
Now when I test this, the 'Large Type' looks perfect but growl and notification center are still not working. Here is growl:
Here is notification center:
Note that notification center is even worse. Not only does it truncate the first line but it only displays the first line.
Some version information:
Computer: Processor 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Computer: Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
alfred: v2.5.1 (308).
growl: 2.1.3.
Thanks very much for any and all help.
