I already thought about that. However, 'short' description really contains more than 255 characters and shown in edit box as multi-line description (grid's rowheight = ~60). So, it is not a case.

>If it's a really short description, then put the text into a textbox (use a substr() to get the first 100 or 200 characters). Then let the user doubleclick if they wish to see more. I agree that 'Memo' is NOT a good thing to see.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
