*The way that MX has been written is inconsistent in the way it deals with fields that MX now expects but at the time that any log line was created did not exist. When adding the missing fields, some are added with empty string as content and some are added with a single space as content. When the editing modal is opened it may display placeholder text where a missing field is empty, but if you don't see that place-holder, there is probably a space included in the supposedly empty field (that you can't see), but that space (if not removed) could muck up any number you now want to store there.

*If you do edit a line, and then '''Save''', then that particular line (but no others in the log file) will change its length to that used by the current version of MX and you will see additional trailing field separators (commas, semicolons, or whatever defined for your locale) in that line making it seem different from its neighbours. Again you may spot an inconsistency in content as some gaps may appear between delimiters where spaces have been added for fields that were originally missing.
