Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Robin Whittleton]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visited about:license

Actual results:

Massive horizontal scrollbar.

Expected results:

Fit to the width of the screen.

The cause seems to be a line in the BSD 3-Clause License that isn’t wrapping. This is in latest Nightly on macOS 10.14.
