Bug Description

Recently I think the formatting of bug descriptions and comments has regressed: line-breaks are introduced at what is probably around the 80th column. Previously line-breaks in the original were preserved, and reflowing of long lines was left up to the browser, iirc. The new behaviour makes things like stack traces much harder to read, e.g. in bug 1353619.

I have also this issue and it's not fun to have a linux shell one-liner wrapped over two lines
The email produced by the comment is fine but not the comment on the web page.

Sample

Not wrapped
apt-get -y purge linux-{headers,image,image-extra}-3.16.0-48-generic

Wrapped after "linux-headers-generic-"
apt-get -y install linux-image-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid
