Description Marcelo Sales 2012-09-20 00:57:53 UTC

When an image has an embedded comment that is relatively big in length, there is no way to see the full contents of the comment metadata field, because the metadata sidebar always show comments in a single line, no matter how big it is.
There should be a way to see the full contents of this field, which may be a relatively long text. Maybe the sidebar should show the contents of the comment field in multiple lines, or maybe there should be a way to open a separate window where the comment would be shown entirely.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an image with a relatively long text embedded in the comment metadata field
2. Try to see the comment in Gwenview

Actual Results:  
The comment is trucated in the metadata sidebar, because it attempts to show its contents in a single line.

Expected Results:  
There should be a way to see the full contents of the comment metadata field.
