Bug comment display wraps before line break

[Barry Warsaw]

I just entered a bug comment and then went to display it, both in the bugtask and as a separate bug comment window. I entered the text using 78 character widths but Launchpad displays this with too much wrapping. This is frustrating and difficult to read, especially because there's plenty of unused horizontal real-estate just being wasted.

Please at least display comments using 79/80 character widths. I'll attach a screenshot, but in the meantime, see

See also bug 435905 and bug 482436, which if not actually dupes seem pretty close. It's very annoying when the comment contains a traceback.

fwiw code reviews currently seem to get this right, or at least better (eg <https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~vila/bzr/config-modify/+merge/37513>): text wraps only when the window is too narrow to show the whole thing.
