Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20457

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    user.module
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal

-Status:       fixed
+Status:       patch

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Removing the break is OK, I suppose,
but removing the comma would not be.  You could not have breaks alone,
because roles can have spaces in them, and they may not break properly.
So, we need to leave the commas in.  Personally, I think it is nicer to
see what we have now:



authenticated user,
administrator,
web site user

rather than:



authenticated user, administrator, web
site user

We probably shouldn't have the hardcoded break, but maybe they should
be in a div. That way a theme can display them inline if desired.

On admin/user, the user's roles are separated both by a comma and a [br
/]. The comma is quite enough - the [br /] merely makes the page look
retarded ("fat" rows) on screens that have plenty of width to
accomodate the entire table without the BR. On smaller width'd
browsers, the "fat" rows will return, but naturally wrapped, not forced
with inline HTML. Likewise, [BR] and the comma are both delimiters: only
one is needed (if we use [BR], the newline becomes the visual delimiter;
if we use comma, then we don't need the newlines). The attached patch
removes the [BR].
