I just wrote to AdWords support because now I've noticed that some of those E-people auction ads are on the first page of the SERPs with l-o-n-g display URLS. The ones I just saw were 170 characters.
Problem: They encroach on the AdWords ads, in essence, covering up my ads (and others) completely. No one is going to click my ad that way!
I keep having to adjust my bids without wanting to just to get away from the offending position. Anyone else irked by this?

patient2all, you've mentioned E-people auction ads in the SERPS, so I am little confused. You really mean the unpaid search results over on the left, no?
If so, then it may be a screen size vs. screen resolution issue - that you may be able to make go away by changing your resolution.
If that is not the case, or if you ever see something odd in the unpaid search results and want to report it, here is the email address that you'll need:
* Report errors, bugs and broken links: webmaster@google.com
BTW, if you were referring to the SERPs, then please note that writing to AdWords Support will slow your response down a little - as they'll have to forward your email to the team above.

Yes, I'm talking about in the SERPs. I'm going to show a portion of one of the SERP Display URLs:
_W0QQsopmsZ60527Q3a2Q3a1049Q3a348667885Q3a72106615Q3a2320a6ebf4e84088d47272862
Now that is not wrapping and remaining in the SERP area. It should abide by the width allocated to the SERPs. It ends up covering people's AdWords, rendering them useless. There should either be a limit on SERP display URLS for the same reason there is a limit for AdWord URLs or it should wrap to another line when length > x. Not many users are running at a resolution of 1280 X 1024, at least not in the circles I travel in.
I have a screenshot, I'll send it to webmaster@google.com also.
Thanks,
patient2ll
