jwillsfleming says:
I've insrted a long url as a note and instead of wrapping within the notes box the text string spills over outside of the box

jwillsfleming, one more question (sorry I forgot to ask this!). Does the URL begin with http://, https://, ftp://, or file://, or is it a network path?

Thanks!

The URL in the note begins http:// but it doesn't appear to be anything to do with the fact that it's a URL.

I just put in a long string of random text and the same problem occurs. When you have an unbroken string of text that is longer then the text box is wide the text fails to wrap when viewing the note.

I'd be happy to send you a screenshot or if you want to have a look or I have no objection to you taking a look at my account.

Hmm, it might only be happening in certain cases -- thanks for these details. If you have time, it would be great if you could email a screenshot (forumreport+3197@rememberthemilk.com) and we can try and figure out what's happening. Thanks!

Ah, looks like this is happening in the note title (or one line notes) -- long strings in the note body seem okay.

We'll add this to our list to fix up.

Hi Emily, the original note is now displaying correctly but the others ( the long test that I put in) is still not wrapping. I put in a new test note with a very long title and it also hasn't wrapped

Is this a long string of characters or a URL? It will currently only break up a recognised URL, but we'll see if we can extend the support to long strings in the future.

Is was a string of characters. To be honest I doubt anyone will put in a very long non-URL string of text so this probably isn't a problem now the URL string bug has been fixed
