Comment 7 for bug 1519055

Kathy, thanks for the explanation.

I understand the concern, and there are no easy answers about how to approach this type of problem. Here are a couple general considerations I see for cases like this.

First, once you add a manual break point, things can start to get visually quirky at different screen sizes, giving you extra breaks and suboptimal use of the space (e.g. three lines where two would suffice). Second, these checkboxes are getting more and more specialized, making it ever less likely that "average library" is going to have them all displayed. The more we cater the display to a certain number of options, the more work it is to undo once you start removing them. In that sense, our current all-one-line-let-it-wrap approach is a generally better baseline to work from.

Again, I know we're never going to create a one-size-fits-all catalog unless we strip it down to the essentials, and that doing so would create a different set of problems. If we do feel all of these options are going to be enabled at most sites, it would (in my opinion) be visually more understandable to put them in a separate container, via a simple top border or a different background. I'll try to post a couple images if I get a few minutes.
