Since the new version of Android Studio (3.1) the Logcat window doesn't always show the prefix (03-28 12:43:01.091 nl.test.app D/log). I made my own logger, which prints in a pretty way, but this gets broken since some lines are no longer with the same indentation. I'll show an example below.
03-28 12:43:01.091 nl.test.app D/log: ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ║ [ (TestActivity.kt:33)#OnCreate ] ║ This is my test log 03-28 12:43:01.092 nl.test.app D/log: ║ This is my second test log ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This is how it used to be:
03-28 12:43:01.091 nl.test.app D/log: ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 03-28 12:43:01.091 nl.test.app D/log: ║ [ (TestActivity.kt:33)#OnCreate ] 03-28 12:43:01.091 nl.test.app D/log: ║ This is my test log 03-28 12:43:01.092 nl.test.app D/log: ║ This is my second test log 03-28 12:43:01.092 nl.test.app D/log: ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Is there a way I can fix this?

Solution 1: Restarting your Android StudioIn your IDE Go to File > Invalidate Caches and Restart > Invalidate and Restart. This Solution will clear all the caches of Android studio IDE and restart it automatically, By the method, there are 80% change that Logcat will start work as before.
Prevent clearing the log when the app crashes By default when the app got crashed the logcat clear's in the android studio. To prevent this, click the right end chooser(Filter Configuration chooser) in the logcat tab then select Edit Filter Configuration option and enter current app name and package name.
Go to Project Structure -> Facets -> “+” -> Android -> Select Project Logcat should now be visible.
According to the issue tracker (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/77305804) it is fixed and is planned for Android Studio 3.2. To quote from the issue tracker:
This change in behavior was inadvertent and I reverted it. The fix will go out in 3.2.
It does not say when this version will be released. But I'll update my answer as soon as I know.
Edit
Android Studio 3.2 is released and my pretty logger is working again!
