The logcat change on the version Android Studio Dolphin 2021.3.1

In my little screen this new logcat is not adapted at all.

How can keep the old one ?

To manage wich version of logcat use :

Settings > Experimental > Don't check the Enable new Logcat tool window at the end.

    But what is wrong with Google, The only pro is the coloring of the logs according to level the rest are cons, before we would filter by simply selecting from a dropdown now we have to write regex just to filter logs, shame on you – m'hd semps Sep 30 '22 at 01:31

    Guys I can't even copy a json response from the server :/ . I know I should get the json response from somewhere else like postman, but I had to do this step for debugging a specific edge case. Google be like: Nah, you are not going to copy that logcat. – Mohamed Medhat Nov 20 '22 at 09:32

    After the update to Electric Eel the checkmark is **back on** again! Shame on you Google. – Vym Jan 24 '23 at 20:17

    It's great to use this to turn off the new log when it stops working (happens too frequently). – auspicious99 Apr 18 '23 at 06:26

    With Android Studio Giraffe 2022.3.1 (Beta 1, Build #AI-223.8836.35.2231.9923731, built on April 12, 2023) the Experimental option now is *completely gone*. New Logcat is standard. – zoulou Apr 22 '23 at 12:36

    Thank you so much! I log by " (D|E)/" so I can filter out an abundance of Information logs, but I couldn't do that with the new logcat. – Mick Apr 26 '23 at 22:12

    unfortunately, in the latest version of Android studio they completely removed this option :( – Mouaad Abdelghafour AITALI Jul 27 '23 at 22:10
