When trying to enter an Abandon message with hyperlinks to a bug reference and a multi line explanation, I found out that the singe line text box is not sufficient for this purpose.
  I tried entering line breaks using key combinations as Alt-Enter with resulted in several Abandon / Restore actions.

May be this dialog should mimic what is available in the reply dialog.

It seems this EGerrit limitation caused some headaches to Alvaro :-)

Looking at review https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/80620/ one can see:
