Listrunner not showing complete workflow log due to conversion error

I am using listrunner crew macro to run through dozens of workflows.  The workflows run fine but for a small number of them - the listrunner tool reports that they have failed but the workflows results are within expectations but I have noticed that after running the listrunner log through the logparser macro the log is incomplete.

 

Below is a simple representation of the workflow. Sample data is used to create a csv file for ISO 8859-1 encoding

The image shows three things:
1. The log when I ran the workflow in designer

2. The summary from listrunner

3. The log from listrunner after using the logparser crew macro

The listrunner log is missing the "Output data" tool bit which would be toolid 2. 
It looks like a conversion error happened when converting wstring to string (as csv encoding is ISO 8859-1 latin) due to the "em-dash" character in string  - I am not concerned by the conversion error.  However, this has affected listrunner capturing the rest of the log.  

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to set listrunner to record the complete log - perhaps editing one of the crew macros?

 

Note I have workflows that have thousands of lines in their logs so if listrunner cannot record the entire log due to the abover error I cannot identify if any errors occurred.

 

@MarqueeCrew : Any advise?

Are you viewing the logs through a browse tool? I ask as the results from the tools themselves sometimes truncates the string on the results window.

Yes - i am using the browse tool - however listrunner is truncating based on the unicode character and it is not producing the full log.

 

The version of listrunner that I have is from http://www.chaosreignswithin.com/p/macros.html but files have not been updated since 2016 - I think from looking through the discussion community - an update was made to listrunner and it's supporting macros but it may not have been released through the chaosreignswithin website
