Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 40508

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jacob Jordan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040622 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040622 Firefox/0.8.0+

I put up an example at http://xaxio.com/converged/contact2.php -- the alert box
that JavaScript throws up doesn't wrap long lines of text.  This doesn't seem to
behave correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go the the above page USING FIREFOX
2.Wait for the popup box and observe
3.

Actual Results:  
Javascript alert box popped up without wrapping text

Expected Results:  
Either expanded to the screen capacity to show the full length of the line (if
possible) or wrapped the text with a -> before the second line to show that
there is no space in the wrapping.

This seems like a duplicate of Bug 40508.

The difference between IE and Firefox in this bug seems to be that IE breaks
words when soft-wrapping doesn't work, not that IE soft-wraps at places Firefox
doesn't. So yeah, it's a dup of bug 40508, unless this code is forked between
Firefox and Seamonkey.
