   Kopp  </a>&nbsp;(FindLaw,

is what the markup says, so there should be no wrapping there.

For me the text wraps before "Kopp" (linux trunk build 2003-03-13-08).

Attachment: illustration of observed error

This is 100% view magnification.  At 120%, it wraps properly.  Other
magnifications are hit-or-miss.

-> Layout

I see the same results as Ken on the 20030924 trunk nightly, Win 2000. If it
makes a difference as far as when text wraps, I'm running at a resolution of
1024x768.

I realize that the   is correctly making it not break at Findlaw, but why
is it not breaking at some point before that so as to not overflow the bounds of
the table containing it?
