The bug writing guidelines (URL above) don't mention how formatting works in bugzilla. E.g., only by accident did I discover that a space at the beginning of a line makes a box. However ; a ":" doesn't do anything special there, as opposed to wikitext, etc. Compare http://core.trac.wordpress.org/wiki/WikiFormatting which tells us how to make our reports sharp looking. However here on bugzilla.wikimedia.org it is just hit and miss. There is no list of formatting rules.
OK a space at the beginning of a line makes NOT a box. It is all hit and miss. With not even a Sandbox in lieu of an instruction sheet. No Previews, just one cold "Commit" button. Please provide a formatting description.
File it in Bugzilla's Bugzilla. AFAIK, our only modifications are to make [[wikilinks]] which probably don't need rigorous documentation.

To save people having to follow the yellow brick road through this bug chain: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/hintsandtips.html#AEN2690 Plus, as Mike notes, we convert wikilinks: [[$1]] --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1
Interesting. They say if I use '>' then I can not wrap. Let's give it a try This is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; this is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; this is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; this is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; Now the same line with a ">" > This is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; this is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; this is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; this is a very long line that I predict will be wrapped; By the way, since I gave pointer to the bugzilla people to look here: there is some junk in their source, $ GET http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/hintsandtips.html|fgrep -c ' ' 4 however invisible in most browsers.
