Multiline summaries break bug's +edit form

[Stuart Bishop]

Bug 39877 has a multiline summary, possibly entering via the email
interface. This breaks the 'edit bug description form' as the single line
summary field makes hides this problem, yet the validator will not accept
the existing value. The validator also just returns the generic 'constraint
not satisfied' error message.

We can either fix this by enforcing a database constraint on this and all
other single line fields ensuring that the data contains no newlines, or by
updating the field to cope with invalid existing data (eg. by normalizing
whitespace).

One possible way to solve this is using the NewLineToSpaceWidget used on search fields.

Is this still a problem? I was able to load +edit and click save (without any modification), and it converted the \n into a space fine. I didn't see any error messages, so perhaps this got fixed at some point in recent years?
