Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the Kotlin breadcrumb example and compare its text in the crash panel with the original input. Trace the crash-log display path in the Countly server and verify that characters such as > and the surrounding timestamp text are rendered unchanged.

Description

Hi
I create a log in this way, but it is displayed differently in the crash panel

Countly.sharedInstance().crashes().addCrashBreadcrumb("$year/$month/$day $hour:$minute:$second $millisecond - NotifyService > onStart() startId: 3")
