482582 - Missing a line break before "Actual Results:" (or after the content of "Steps to Reproduce:") in new bug reports

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Helder "Lthere" Magalhães]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 

"Actual Results:" is glued together with the last text entered in "Steps to Reproduce:" for newly created bug reports. Inserting a line break before (or after the content of "Steps to Reproduce:") would both increase visual consistency and potentially make bug analysis slightly faster.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new bug report using the form at the bug's URL;
2. Fill in the fields;
3. Submit the bug report.
Actual Results:  
"Actual Results:" is glued together with the last text entered in "Steps to Reproduce:"

Expected Results:  
A line break would precede "Actual Results:"

Instead of trying to reproduce, which can be a bad idea since it involves creating a new issue, I'd suggest taking a look at previously reported issues such as bug 481869 and bug 480844, which show the symptom. This report will most likely also suffer from the issue being reported.

I've confirmed (while filing bug 489564) that artificially adding a like break in "Steps to Reproduce:" contents doesn't help working around the issue: something which is somehow expected, as probably a trim white-space is made during form processing.
