Details

build id: 1999042608 reproduces on: linux only. no problems on mac or windows. what's going on: this is hard to describe. load the url above, or create a page with a form that contains a textarea with an awful lot of text in it. when you look at the above url on linux, you see a bunch of carraige return glyphs (I think - don't know what to call them!) where you would ordinarily see a vertical scrollbar. there is also a big problem in that words are broken and wrapped in the middle of them - eg the word "leaders" at this url displays as follows: le* aders where * represents the above mentioned glyph. expected result: those characters shouldn't be there, and words should not be broken across separate lines.

this is a known GTK bug in the text widget. I will see what I can dig up.

i have fixed it so that it does not wrap in the middle of the lines. the little arrow things for line breaks we can't really do much with (the gtk text widget isn't known for being wonderful.) i'm going to mark this one as fixed.. if you would like to file another bug against me on the scrollbar issue, please do. i'll take a look at that shortly.

It isn't wrapping in the middle of the lines using the 1999061408 build under RHL 5.2, so I'm going to go ahead and verify this one as fixed. However, the CR glyphs are an issue, so I will open a new bug for those...
sorry for bugzilla spam. trying to get these off my radar
