Description Johan Svedberg 2005-06-22 18:20:18 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
This bug was originally reported in the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/312591

"When I view an entry that contains an image or preformatted text that
is wider than the entry pane, all of the text in the entry is wrapped
at the maximum width.  This makes it annoying to read, since I have to
scroll right and left for each line.  It would be much nicer if the
regular text were wrapped to the width of the entry pane, so that I
would only have to scroll for the preformatted text and/or images."

Does this happen every time?

This comes from gecko (the web rendering engine Blam uses). I will try to find out whether we can configure this.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2018-07-01 08:27:27 UTC 
Blam is not under active development anymore and has not seen code changes for more than five years.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/blam/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
