Thanks Rob and Diogo. Having data like this makes decisions easier :) 48 characters isn't that long for a bug title. 68 characters isn't either. Huw and Orange people: what are the design compromises we'd have to make if we wrapped bug titles after that got longer than 68 characters? -- Matthew Revell Launchpad Product Manager Canonical https://launchpad.net/~matthew.revell _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
