I'm talking about text written by hand in the "Additional Comments" free form. The free form presents itself with a given wideness, which I trust when writing my comment to choose carefully the length of the lines and add appropriate line breaks. Then, upon Commit, the text is wrapped to shorter lines. I have no way to anticipate that length when I write and it's way to easy to make mistakes.
Note that this issue is new, didn't happen time ago, maybe started with the Bugzilla update? Paolo.
