      Description

      In v4.4 both the name field and the description field displayed in fixed width columns with text wrapping. (see 4-4 image)

      In v 4.6 the display of name field is in a variable width column so that a long name displays in a single line. This was not brilliant, but OK as the name field has a maximum length.

      Somewhere in the 4.7 series the description field was also changed to a variable width display column so that the full description displays in a single line. This is not good.

      If you include what the group is used for and the seach criteria in the description of a smart group (which is the obvious thing to do IMO) then you can end up with very large desciptions. It is difficult to read the description if it is in a long single line requiring scrolling to the right. The most important issue though is that the group type and visibility fields and the action links (Contacts, Settings and More) to the right of description column are so isolated from the group names that it is diffcult to ensure that you are operating on the correct group.
