Description:
------------
When adding notes to the php.net website, apparently wordwrap() is used to make sure that no words are entered that are too long. However, when describing web access-type problems (for example using get_file_contents() with $_GET parameters), sometimes relatively long URL's are needed. While the box where the notes are shown n the website is relatively wide, the width used by the wordwrap() in the "add note" web page is set much narrower. I would suggest that the width used with wordwrap() for the "add note" web page be made larger.


Reproduce code:
---------------
None.

Expected result:
----------------
N/A

Actual result:
--------------
Rejects long strings that are narrow enough to fit on the web page.

Noo.. We don't use wordwrap().
And I don't think we reject extremely long strings either..

Do you have an concrete example of this issue?
