already told you thrice that a simple way to fix your problem is to set long-line-threshold to a larger value (or to nil).Thanks, I added `(setf long-line-threshold nil)' to Emacs startup configuration file a couple of days before. But unless I'm missing something, this is not a fix, only a workaround.
Why did you immediately set it to nil instead of trying to making it sufficiently large? You said that some lines in the Logview buffer are long, but I bet they are never longer than, say, 100000 characters.
As I told you, the general fix will be to adapt Logview to handle locked narrowing, by explicitly unlocking the locked narrowing when it needs to access a larger portion of the buffer. You were somewhat reluctant at that idea.
