User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030313 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030313 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 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
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&nbsp;on&nbsp;Business", not "Reports on Business", so Mozilla is not supposed to wrap it -> invalid

Resolution: --- → INVALID
Summary: Left-hand side about one-third down, "Report on Business" text passes vertical line → Reports&nbsp;on&nbsp;Business overflows outside of table
On OS/2 the last "s" ends exactly at the div border. Verified stupid page design.
