When I submit text from a mult-line text editing field, webkit inserts line breaks where it thinks the lines should end. In particular on the comments section of lwn.net this results in a very messy layout (search for recent comments posted by user "drag" on that site for examples). It would be nice to be able to disable this. I get this with Epiphany-Webkit, but also saw it using Safari on OS X.
Sorry if this is a duplicate report (the issue is well-known, I know), but I couldn't find a similar one.

It seems that this is due to web site bugs (the use of wrap tags) and that webkit is doing this right. My apologies.
