Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Sorry if this is a dumb-ass question, but am I the only person who |
| 4 |
has problems with the word-wrapping on bugs.gentoo.org? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
For instance, comments 5 - 10 of <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi? |
| 7 |
id=84011> are impossible to read for me, because the text overflows |
| 8 |
off the right of the page and if I want to read it I have to scroll a |
| 9 |
horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the page. I have to scroll all |
| 10 |
the way right for each line, then all the way left to read the next |
| 11 |
one. This is frustrating to a degree that it makes the information on |
| 12 |
the page near-useless. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I have to admit that I'm using a Mac as my desktop computer, but I |
| 15 |
have tried this in Firefox as well as Safari and get the same thing. |
| 16 |
Do you also see this using the browsers available on your Linux |
| 17 |
desktops? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I think it's always been this way, but in the past I have never |
| 20 |
needed to read a bug with so much information misformatted this way. |
| 21 |
Presumably there are workarounds available, can someone let me in on |
| 22 |
the secret? I had this idea that this was a common problem, but of |
| 23 |
course google for "word wrapping bugs.gentoo.org" returns word |
| 24 |
wrapping bugs with nano & kmail which happen to be filed on the site. |

A bit more Googling finds: |

Server-Side Comment Wrapping |
| 28 |
---------------------------- |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
In older Bugzillas, comments were wrapped to 80 characters by the |
| 31 |
user's web browser, and then stored in the database that way. This |
| 32 |
caused |
| 33 |
problems because some browsers did not wrap comments properly. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Now, Bugzilla stores comments unwrapped and wraps them at display |
| 36 |
time, so |
| 37 |
all new comments should be properly wrapped. Also, when you |
| 38 |
upgrade, Bugzilla |
| 39 |
will look for old "mis-wrapped" comments and attempt to wrap them |
| 40 |
properly. |
| 41 |
<http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/2.20/release-notes.html> |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
But this does not seem effective against older comments in this |
| 44 |
particular bug report. <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84011> |
| 45 |
Do I simply have to live with it? |
