ubuntu linux 12.04
The Job Configuration and System Configuration windows are just intolerable. If I go in and manually set the max-width of the div.CodeMirror-lines>div>div to, say, 40em, the window behaves better. See attached screenshots. Even if you can't fix this quickly, a workaround using the "simple theme" plugin would be most appreciated!
[JENKINS-16327] Pages with CodeMirror editors are impossibly wide
They're as wide as necessary to display your code in full.
It's trivial to press Return/Enter to insert a line break or two to keep lines short. In HTML, this doesn't even show up in the output.
Probably not a bug unless there's no way to do this without affecting output.
BTW, the automatic line spacing could be a very useful feature.
Just an example...
- UserA creates a job using his computer with a new 27" display
- UserB opens the job on 13" laptop and sees the very long horizontal scrollbar
The issue seems to be a valid improvement request.
It is not a bug, of course
I have no idea what I was thinking when I resolved this. My apologies.
My comment just means there's a simple workaround, not that this isn't a bug.

added a comment - Hello,
I have the same problem with Jenkins 2.1.
On Chrome and Firefox (not tested elsewhere), in job config page, the command in the "execute shell" textarea is always displayed on a single row (without any word wrap) and the page gets wider and wider if you have very long commands. This does not happen in the "job description" textarea, so I think is due to CodeMirror (css or code).
Moreover, the suggested workaround (trying to disable CodeMirror) does not work: the checkbox "disable syntax highlighting" do nothing. I checked it and also restarted Jenkins, and nothing changed.
Thanks, Donato

Thanks, Donato Adding "max-width: 550px" to the .CodeMirror-scroll class inside codemirror.css will enable the desired and expected behavior. 550px is just an approximate - if someone has a better value, feel free to share it.
EDIT: changed 750px to 550px after some experimentation.
kwaping Could you create a PR for that so we can review and, if acceptable, integrate in Jenkins?
No, a combination of work commitments and my solution not being very good have been standing in my way.
kwaping I asked someone else to take care of this, PR is at https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/2575 – if you have the time, test it to make sure it works as expected. There's a PR build you can download and try.
Apparently Jenkins > Configure System > Markup Formatter > Disable Syntax Highlighting cures this! Please, if you can't fix it, at least disable syntax highlighting by default. Take pity on new users!
