I have noticed when I post long text, like server.log entries to a
new message textarea, the result in the bboard is a mess. However a
reply to that message with similar entries comes out fine, with plain
text chosen as the input style.
Now I know the reason. The textarea at
https://openacs.org/bboard/q-and-a-post-new.tcl
has a wrap
value of 'hard', while the one at
https://openacs.org/bboard/q-and-a-post-a-reply-form.tcl
is 'physical'.
