Unable to see the contents of request and response

Pen | Last updated: Jul 26, 2018 09:30AM UTC

I am trying to capture the requests to a website in Burp. The request and response do get captured but I am not able to see the contents of the request even though Burp is capturing them both. The intercept is working fine as I can see the text being highlighted when I select the contents in the request and response window. To verify that, I copy the selected text and paste it to a text editor where I can then see all the information.

We haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet. However, the solution is to change the font in User options > Display > HTTP Message Display. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

It is the "Courier" font having that issue. If you go to "User Options" >Display>HTTP Message Display and change the font, it will fix that issue. I was having the same problem too.
