Description Tom von Schwerdtner 2002-07-21 23:24:15 UTC
IMHO, word-wrapping should be enabled for the Description field.  Having it off
makes about 75% of the bugs here very difficult and annoying to read.  Most
people assume that it is automatic and wont go back and format thier comments,
hence the problem.  If you want to keep it off, a comment tossed in would make
things much more understandable for the newbie-bug-submitter so they would
manually insert line breaks.

IMHO of course.

Hmm....I may have missed something.  It seemes to have been off for the initial
comment there, however many times I have seen comments go far off to the
right......is this browser related?
