Issue Summary
When viewing an issue there is much wasted white space to the right of the Issue summary table.
See http://drupal.org/files/wasted-space-project-issue.png
I suggest we move the description into this white space area. The following CSS accomplishes this, but I think it might adversely affect other themes. If a CSS designer for Drupal themes could take a look and make sure I'm not destroying all that is holy in Drupal theme land, that would be most appreciated.
Here is a screenshot of my tweaks: http://drupal.org/files/wasted-space-project-issue_0.png
#project-issue-summary-table {
float:left;
padding:0 1em 0 0;
}
/* Remove clear-block style on #project-summary-container */
#comments {
clear:both;

Annoyingly, I uploaded the wasted space image twice. Here is the updated image which shows the content flowing as I intended:

Wow, Ubuntu screenshot failed me, and then I failed to check the screenshots before uploading.
Final versions. Please forgive my overuploading.

A) Those are two identical screenshots, neither of which show the "wasted" space you're talking about, nor your proposed solution.
B) There's no bug here, you're asking for a new feature to make the issue pages more visually dense. I'm not sure that's going to improve readability, and I can't see based on your screenshots. ;)
Please post new screenshots and set this back to "active", unless you also post a patch to the .css files to implement your proposed change.
Thanks,

Sorry, we cross posted. #2 contains real screenshots, thanks. ;) Back to active for consideration (since there's no patch here to actually review).
I think that makes the pages too dense, and there are some other ideas for things that could fill that space in the future in a way that wouldn't cause the description float around. Big -1 from me, but I'll let other folks take a look before I officially mark this "won't fix"... ;)
Cheers,

I agree with dww. I don't see the problem with having a little whitespace at the top. I think that for most browser sizes the issue description still starts "above the fold", so to speak. Granted, if you have a wide monitor and have your browser set to be quite wide, the top of the issue page looks a little empty, but for a width that I would consider more normal I think it looks fine.

#430886: Make blocks entities is another counter-example. if you have a lot of issue tags, the whitespace is used up. I don't think I'm going to commit this, sorry.
