Say you have a large bug description. The description
has double quotes in it. There will be no problems to
submit the bug.

Later you notice an omission in your description and
wish to fix it. So you bring the description in edit
mode, make the change and submit. The submission will fail.

The problem seem to happen when the text is "large" and
when it contains double quotes, possibly when it
contains single quotes too. Browsers don't seem to like
my idea to hide the default text in an hidden field.

I need to see if I really to use this hidden field
anyway. I may also need to find another way to hide the
reference text in the page without affecting the
browsers (ex using dhtml layers?).
