Bug Description

Currently, bug descriptions get whitespace-trimmed, and it's impossible to visually distinguish text from monospace/code withouth ascii art.

Take for example this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/2034740

- I pasted a nice table but the system trimmed it into something with poorer readability.
- I have commands there that I cannot properly distinguish from explanation.

It would be handy if launchpad treated descriptions and comments as markdown and rendered it like github/other do.

Thanks for the triage.
Would you be able to elaborate why the priority is low?
This seems like a major usability problem that everyone encounters.
