Comment 21 for bug 301054

On the resolution/dialog size issue - fair enough. I've never liked the hard-coding thing either. I'm not sure I understand the objection to inserting newlines, though.

Having reviewed our progress thus far, it seems to me that we're working on two distinct issues:

1) Wrapping URLs. (link-url, image-url)
2) Wrapping everything else. (image-alt, image-desc, insdel-cite, quote-cite, misc-title, misc-tblsummary)

The URLs are the hard part, because they don't have any natural breaks in them. The others are all easy, because they do. For everything EXCEPT urls, it's a simple matter of setting the multi-line attribute on the textbox elements.

I therefore have a proposal: let's fix the plain text ones and file a new bug for the URLs. That way the alt/title/cite/summary stuff that people might actually want to read can be read without fiddling with the dialog size, and we can work on the URL issue separately. Half a bug squashed is better than no bug squashed.
