And that's exactly what makes no sense: we would be artificially separating the value menu button from the description of the current value. So if you insist on doing this, I object to this proposal. > At least do so when the text would go past the conventional limit > (70 chars or whatever) when placed after Customize constructs > (boilerplate text, buttons, etc.). No. It is up to the Lisp programmers to make sure the text is short enough to not cause this. Exactly like with doc strings. > > I also don't see how filling of any kind can make the situation better > > when the textual description is too long. > > This bug report does not ask for text filling, at all. > Please move consideration/discussion of filling to > a new bug report, if you're interested in that. I only mentioned filling because that was one of the proposed solutions. We should NOT do any filling here. > The problem is :tag lines.
