#152 Attribution field accepts strings of arbitrary length

[Anonymous]

This was evidently reported once as 1044975, atlhough I
am not able to find it.

It is natural for people to want to enter a name and/or
email address as an attribute when editing text. This will
then display concatenated with their IP address (which,
for public display purposes, is utterly useless data).

This creates a long string which does not wrap, forcing
the main text window to narrow. To me, this is a serious
usability error, not a mere "feature enhancement" issue.

There's my two cents.
