This was fixed in the trunk.

For 0.8.x, you can fix this manually by modifying the CSS: Remove line 5 ( overflow: auto) in htdocs/css/code.css.

When I remove line 5 in htdocs/css/code.css and now it show me less then half, other part simply dissapear. When I click "original format" everything fine and I can see whole file.

This is really a problem similar to the one described in #1345.

Some browsers have problems when a large text is enclosed in a block which has the overflow property set to auto:

• Internet Explorer is very slow.
• Firefox on Windows either shows a repeated garbage near the end, as demonstrated in your attachment:CorruptedText.PNG​, or shows nothing (as described in your second comment, so I believe the CSS rule is still active somehow, can you check with the web developer tool bar/edit stylesheets?).

We decided to keep overflow: auto only for the small code blocks enclosed with {{{...}}} in the wiki pages, but not for the source browser nor for the attachments.

In the trunk, this is fixed for the source browser, but apparently not for the attachment view, as can be seen in the example given in #1345.
