Description Jozef Behran 2004-12-18 11:14:23 UTC
When someone writes long lines into the form (the bug description textarea), the lines 
are not broken and so only first few words of each line appears on the page. One must
break lines manually. For example the following paragraph should be rendered as
multiline paragraph but is rendered as single line instead:

gklsfgkl dsfjgkl dfgkl dfgjvklf; djbvkl; bgfjkl; gfbjkl sdfjkl;v dfjvkl; adsjvkl; sdjvkl; sdfjbgj; ldkgbj klsdf jvklasdfklvj dfsklv sdjkvhj sdfklvh ajksdh svjkldf vhsdfjklv fjklvh sjklad cvhjasdkl dhvjkl dfhsbjkl djklbh gjklwerf wernmf sm,anf sdfklsdf jlsdkfj sdkl;sd jkvh sdjkvh sdfjklv dfhljkvh asjklvh sdjkvh asdljkvdh sakljcv hadjklc hsdklcsdhk jleriog eruoig erjkasdfgh sdfjk ghldfgh sdfjklaasdjklh asfjkl shjklxcvzm, xcnvjkdjksf dlgh erjklg herjkg herjklwgh werjklgerkl jl gweh rljkgel wrjkgwerhkj sdfjvgk fndsm,vgn dfvm, dnfvkl sdfjvkl asdjklvsdfh vjkl hdjkl hjkldfs vhjksdfvh dflskv asdfjkvh asdklvh skldfvh sdfjk vhsdfjkv hsdfjklv hadjklv hsdfjklv hsfjkvh dfjkvh klsdf vhdfjkv hdfjkv hfsdjkv hsdfjkl.
Comment 1 Radek Podgorny 2004-12-18 13:39:52 UTC
It is not rendered on a single line for me... :-) Firefox 1.0
Comment 2 Jozef Behran 2004-12-18 13:51:20 UTC
To Radek: If Firefox 1.0 does this, it is not a standard browser. The HTML says in 
the preformatted text the lines can break only when there is a line break in the source.
Or: "Display it as you see it here".

To the maintainer of the page: I suggest replace "<PRE>" and "</PRE>" with "<TT>" 
and "</TT>" in the text chunks containing the description of the bug and the 
followups. That should be enough to fix this bug.

This is a bugzilla bug, fixed in the yet-to-be-released 2.19.3
