form - field name must wrap

[Ferdinand]

users are unable to identifiy stock location in form view ( problem with all long fields like resoruces with parent -structure)

IMHO we need word wrap in form too as it is done in tree views.

It's not *technically possible* to wrap HTML inputs (any more than it's possible to wrap your browser's URL bar). So that's not going to happen (note, however, that you can scroll inside the input fields themselves). If you have issues with field lengths, I would recommend:

1. Customizing the form layout to only display 2 fields to a size in order to provide each field with sufficient width
2. Replacing the inputs by text fields (and dealing with the ensuing layout mayhem)

this is bad news as scrolling is not an option in day2day business

what about a text bubble on hover ?

it is absolutely necessary to see the complete text AT ONCE or to redesign the forms to accomodate lang char fields (as I urged many times already)- the 6 columns x 3 rows concept is very problematic ..... especially for languages other than English, where words and phrases tend to be 20-24% longer in real life.

in a 6 column concept long char fields must have colspan="4" to be easily readable.

Why not, though I'm not sure that's much better.

While I can't say I disagree, that is an issue with the views (therefore the addons), the web client can't do anything about it.
