insertion of linefeeds when editing multitext fields

[Dirk Schenkewitz]

There was a complaint that there was no automatic insertion of
linefeeds when entering or changing text in a multitext field.
Because not everyone (including me, *sigh*) might like the new
behavior, I made a change to gnatsweb.pl (see attached patch)
which goes with the following additional line somewhere in 
gnatsweb-site.pl:

$wrap_mode = 'hard';   # possible values: 'off', 'hard', 'soft'

happy coding - I'm glad that there is a new maintainer for gnats!
