Is it obvious that my issue is not the same as Sebastian'? I'm talking
about text written by hand in the "Additional Comments" free form. The
free form presents itself with a given wideness, which I trust when
writing my comment to choose carefully the length of the lines and add
appropriate line breaks. Then, upon Commit, the text is wrapped to
shorter lines. I have no way to anticipate that length when I write and
it's way to easy to make mistakes.
Note that this issue is new, didn't happen time ago, maybe started with
the Bugzilla update?
