Wrong. That is not the only possible harm. The much more signficant harm is to usability and user efficiency. When the text doesn't fit in the user's chosen browser window width, the user has to scroll horizontally to read the text. Note that the user has to scroll right and then back left for EACH line of text. That is horrible. (Remember that some users have big screens so they can see _multiple_ windows, say, an editor editing some file (.../build.xml, maybe?) and, say, a browser displaying relevant documentation (the Ant manual, anyone?). Don't treat users as if they're too stupid to be able to handle multiple windows (by assuming they use full-screen browser windows).) HTML is designed so that by default the browser can wrap regular text to fit the user's chosen window width. Don't break that ability, by tying the width of the text column to something else, especially when breaking it is completely unnecessary. Sorry for the snippiness, but maybe you shouldn't claim that I must agree with something that is clearly false and shouldn't summarily discard my bug report without showing any understanding of the problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
