171596 - comment line wrapping when posting with internet explorer is broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 11901

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Sam Schinke]

When posting to bugzilla via internet explorer, long, unbroken lines do not wrap
automatically.

The lines below this point have NOT been wrapped manually, and posted with IE.

Internet explorer submits the "comment" value with encoded crlf's, as internet explorer respects the "wrap=soft" and 'wrap="hard"' attributes of the text-area form element (whether or not "wrap" is a standard tag).

These CRLF's (%0d%0a) seem to dissapear _after_ bugzilla inserts it's own carriage returns, at which point all of the lines seem to have been wrapped already.

To reproduce: Open IE, copy the URL for this bug into the "address" bar, enter a string in the "additional comments" field long enough for the text to appear on a lower line. Press commit. View the results.

As mentioned in Bug 11901 comment 96 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?
id=11901#c96), this could be due to the Proxomitron web page filtering program; 
more specifically the rule "Wordwrap all form textboxes". Simply turn that 
specific rule off in Proxomitron and reload the web page - this worked for me.

If you are more sophisticated, you could rewrite the regexp in the rule in 
Proxomitron to avoid interfering with the specific Bugzilla textarea element. I 
will leave this as an exercise (in other words: I haven't done this).
