Key descriptions in *Help* are too wide

Subject: Key descriptions in *Help* are too wide

I bind down-mouse-2 to `ignore' and `mouse-2' to another
command. Because there are lots of keys bound to `ignore', when I do
C-h k mouse-2, I get a key description that is far too wide: 148
characters on a single line!  For example:

<down-mouse-2> at that spot runs the command ignore
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `subr.el'.
It is bound to <mouse-3>, <drag-mouse-2>, <down-mouse-2>, <drag-mouse-1>,
<down-mouse-1>, <language-change>, <rwindow>, <lwindow>, <mouse-movement>.
(ignore &rest IGNORE)

The *Help* buffer description should be filled. This is important, for
example, for code that automatically fits frames to their buffer size
(e.g. max line width).
