Which space is that? The "Detailed description" field? If so, that's not recommended. Zip the text file and attach the zip to the bug report by dragging it to the file upload field on the report form.
The "Detailed description" field is for you to describe the problem, along with any other salient details. See http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/info#Bugs for things that we find useful in bug reports.
Is there not a simpler way that can be devised to upload these important error reports?
Not until various other bits of website infrastructure are put in place. Until then, we're constrained to the bug tracker that sourceforge provides.
