I was asked to use more linebreaks in my bugzilla comments. I can try: but I use Lynx for most of my web-browsing. When using Lynx you get very few lines in which you can squash a bug, and so continuing along one line is sometimes the only way to fit everything in. I don't avoid the linebreaks to be difficult. With Lynx, you get 10 lines of about 50 characters each (or I do). This isn't very much. Unlike Netscape, Lynx doesn't seem (I may be wrong) to let you generate extra lines. If there were more blank lines as a default, that would be nice. Failing that, is there a way to provide a 'more lines needed?' option when someone using Lynx (or other browsers this affects) hits the end of the tenth line? Nothing against Netscape; it's just that Lynx is quicker and I don't always have X running. There must be plenty of others who don't necessarily have X running and who use Lynx, too...
bugzilla has recently received some facelifts, and is hopefully *a bit* more friendly now. However, it will always remain primarily targeted at those using a graphical browser, as they are the majority.
This a problem with Lynx because it shows up with other sites which also use the html textarea form tag. Lynx is not being compliant in this regard. We will look into trying to see what needs to be done to fix this Lynx drawback.

Reassigning to Dave.
Seems this us no longer an issue as of lynx version 2.8.4-3 as shipped with 7.0. If you at the bottom of the textarea box in bugzilla using lynx, hitting enter will additional lines to the textarea box on demand. Also you can define a default editor in the lynx options and when the cursur is in the textarea box just hit ^Xe to run your default editor. Whatever you enter in the editor will be placed in the textarea box. Reopen the bug if this is not the case for you using this version of lynx.
