lines are wrapped after about 500 characters

[Matthew East]

Hi,

I'm SURE that Rosetta used to do this a lot better. Basically, Rosetta is wrapping a line after about 500 characters as far as I can see. This means that where a string is long (and with documentation, a string can be hundred of words), the page width is like a metre, and I have to scroll across and back again continuously to translate things. The main problem with this is that the length of a paragraph in the original language is not always the same as the length of a paragraph in the target language, so often it is necessary to go back and forward again just to switch between original/target language. This makes it an immensely difficult task to check one's own translations, and also to check other people's translations. A second, and more minor symptom of this failure to wrap lines shorter is that in order to find the "Save and continue" button I have to scroll miles across to the right.

An example (although this bug is present in almost every page of the documentation I've tried):
