313713 - User-Agent and Build ID lines now wrapped and hard to read

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

I don't know if this is possible or needs to be a general Bugzilla enhancement instead, or....

The User-Agent and Build Identifier lines (on reports from Bugzilla Helper) are now wrapped, and the most important parts (the actual version number and build date) are now the "in-between" lines of a four-line, "heavy-looking" stack.  I find it harder to read and pick out those bits of data now.

I've noticed that some long lines (URLs) aren't wrapped; is it possible to special-case the UA and Build ID lines not to force-wrap, too?

Moving this to the Bugzilla product to get some more eyes on it.  It's possible we already have some hack to tell the templates not to wrap a line, if so I can just modify the comment template.  But I'm not aware of it, and I guess this is a good reason to add one if we don't have one.

Currently, replies are not wrapped, i.e. lines beginning with ">". If you want to permit the UA and Build ID to remain as is, you have to hack Bugzilla::Util::wrap_comment().

justdave, I would tend to say that this should remain a hack for b.m.o, and not be implemented in our code.

I think we may just have to live with this. Looks like people have done for the past year, anyway.
