Description Narada Sage 2003-10-24 12:20:25 UTC
Hello.  I'm not sure if this deliberate but from a web user's point of view side scrolling is really off-putting and unpleasant especially when presenting prose.  Is there any way to line wrap lines longer than the browser width and if so could it be implemented?  Thanks.

It's only the initial bug entry screen that fails to wrap properly.  Additional
Comments (such as this one) are wrapped properly.  Both textarea input fields
are set with wrap=soft (no returns sent to the server) and the server correctly
formats "Additional Comments" but not initial report comments.

You're right.  The first entry does not wrap and that is useful since there is often code there that is better read unwrapped.  However, it is not true that all subsequent entries are wrapped.  Often future entries are unwrapped.  Some are wrapped and some aren't.  I can't tell how it is decided.  Either it should be only first entry that is non-wrapped or it should be all posts that are non-wrapped.
