When visiting http://www.globeandmail.ca/ I notice the text for "Report on
Business" seems too wide for the table cell.  I I decrease font size it seems to
look correct.  In IE no matter what size font I use the text never changes size.

Reproducible: Always

The text is set to 12px.  In IE, that means you cannot change its size.  Do you
have a minimal font size set at higher than 12px by chance?  (Note that the
<div> that overflows has a fixed pixel width, so the page is just broken by design.)

Doesn't that make this bug invalid?

If I didn't mention it before I'm encountering the problem in Linux (Redhat 8).

My minimum font size is set to 12.  I created an new profile, where the mininum
font size is  set to "none", and still saw the same problem.  Unless I reduce
the font size (using CTRK+-), text goes past the vertical line.  
I displayed the same page with Mozilla in Windows and Konqueror(almost touching
the line) and the page displayed properly.
The only thing I noticed is the character spacing is greater in Linux than in
Windows or Konqueror. 
Perhaps it is only my system that is affected.

I can reproduce the problem. But the thing is the text is
"Reports on Business", not "Reports on Business", so
Mozilla is not supposed to wrap it -> invalid

On OS/2 the last "s" ends exactly at the div border.

Verified stupid page design.
