I've had this crack in the ceiling for the past few years and it has never gotten any worse than this. It runs from the wall to the ceiling fan and is probably about 8' long. I'm about to repaint this room and wondering if this is something I need to address or if I can just fill the crack with joint compound and paint over it.
