We're truncating the package description now. LAMs description is pretty insane.

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2009-01-08 11:47:08 UTC
I've re-assigned the bug. Descriptions text should not be pages and pages of text, only a couple of paragraphs long.

Comment 3 Feng Yu 2009-01-08 18:09:38 UTC
'Truncating the package description'? Making the description shorter?

It doesn't really solve the problem. 

Why can't the desciption box be scrollable? Are there any technical difficulties? Supposingly it is only one line of code or so.

The tediousness of LAM description should be a seperated bug.

It is. The scrollable description is an already fixed bug.
