Package: reportbug
Version: 4.9
Severity: important

The GTK front end for reportbug neither word wraps text that is entered by 
users nor provides any indicication of how wide the text that's been entered 
is, meaning that it would be very surprising if input came back as anything 
other than one line per paragraph format. This doesn't look very good in many 
mail clients, the standard is that lines should be wrapped before 80 columns.

Severity important since this makes bug submitters look less clueful than they 
should and makes bug reports less legible.
