Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55725&edit=1 ID: 55725 Updated by: rquadling@php.net Reported by: rquadling@php.net Summary: Allow wider textareas. Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Website problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Ah, I see. Allowing for wider textareas, only partially fixes the problem. I don't know the solution here but I'd say that wrapping should be done soft/virtual in the browser and that's it. No wrapping at any other stage. At least not in code. Hopefully the browser will wrap the text under it's normal rules. When displayed, don't use <pre>, except for the "Test script", "Expected Result" and "Actual Result". And no wrapping. The next issue comes from emails. I still think that the wrapping here should be handled by the reader. When it comes to emailing, I'm not sure. Do any of the modern readers automatically wrap long lines? OOI. Using the JS Console for Google Chrome, I set this textarea's wrap property to virtual - it was physical. Virtual SHOULD mean that only the line breaks I manually put in will be transmitted. The others, for example, the one that exists BEFORE the word "that" won't be present. We'll see when I press submit.
