The idea sounds good, however I am not 100% sure about the implementation. We already do have JavaScript code for collapsing long dependency lists (which we borrowed from archweb). Do we want to use the same code for comments for consistency? It also makes it a bit easier to read long comments since, once you decided that you want to expand it, you no longer need to scroll. On the other hand, I like that this alternative implementation does not require JavaScript...

I put your patch on the pu branch for now but I would like to hear some more opinions. Thanks!

I am in favor of using JavaScript for the reasons Lukas already mentioned. Once you are willing to read the whole comment it gets annoying to scroll anymore. Furthermore JavaScript is used either way. Best regards, Gordian
