Being forced to scroll horizontally is a major pain ans should be avoided
whenever possible.

Currently EIS is very "vulnerable" in this regard, since the edit-box wraps the
text, but doesn't add newlines at the same position, resulting in very long
lines that force horizontal scrolling because the comments are formatted with
the <pre> tags.

See for example the CWS "hunspell"
http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Fm149%2Fhunspell&Id=3030

It is very hard to read and thus should be avoided.
One possible solution is to add linebreaks (like IssueZilla does) or not to use
the pre-tag. 
Inserting linebreaks probably is easier and doesn't confuse people used to the
pre-tags (otherwise they would have to check "[x] html" and insert explicit
<br/>s themselves)
