Bug #33741	Long addresses are split into several lines, causing broken link

Description:
When a comment contains a long web address (more than about 90 characters), the link is
split into two or more lines. Then the first line is made clickable, so that the referred
address is only a 90 character prefix of the original link. So the link is broken.

How to repeat:
See for yourself:

Suggested fix:
Either do not break long lines, or break them only after they have been made into links.

Thank you for a bug report.

It would be in general a good change to never break long lines like it's done today.

If you have stack traces or other information with long lines it's really hard to read if
the lines are broken. Let the browser wrap lines if the window is smaller than the line
length.
