Description rrochat 2005-10-06 19:49:08 UTC
1. The Summary line is severely truncated when used in the Subject line for 
emails, or actually, a line break is inserted, but the 2nd line doesn't show up 
in my email reader, so it looks like the line is just truncated.  By the time 
all the prefixes get added, often I only see 1 or 2 words, and sometimes not 
even one entire word.  I don't see why this is necessary -- leaving the summary 
line intact would be much more readable.  Let the mail reader truncate the 
Subject line if it needs to.

2. Apparently the Description is not wrapped at all, but all subsequent comments
are.  This is probably a feature since wrapped stacktraces are obnoxious, but
when the text is written (like this) that assumes wrapping and you have to
scroll on and on and on to read the entire paragraph, 
it's annoying.
If you can't make the text component be a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (with a
horizontal scrollbar so you're reminded to add line breaks), 
please add a checkbox to let the user 
decide whether they want the text to wrap, 
add a reminder on the form i.e. "*Description (unwrapped)," or 
at the very least, information in the Step by Step Guide explaining how and when
text is wrapped. 

3. The Description box is too small.  It would be better if it were allowed to
grow if you make the window bigger.

Are you referring to issues submitted specifically via the NetCAT bug form ? 
Can you include an example issue ID ?

Yes, now that you mention it, this may be from NetCat bug forms.

We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
