Bring up a plaintext editor: either run mozilla -edit and do Debug->Plaintext
Editor, or run viewer, point at a file containing
<body style="white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; width: 72ch; font-family: -moz-fixed;
background-color: rgb(255,255,255); ">
and go into edit mode.

Now type words with spaces separating them, until layout wraps.  Note that a
horizontal scrollbar appears, even though all the text on the page fits easily
within the window.  There seems to be a large margin on the right edge of the
page which is being considered part of the page width.

This also happens on a page with <pre cols=72>: load such a page, and notice
that the scrollbar is shown even though the window is easily wide enough to show
73+ characters.

I can't see a problem with the latest build (on Windows anyway).
Windows uses different default fonts, and the default sizes for the various
windows are chosen based on the windows fonts.
Updating to default Layout Assignee...kipp no longer with us :-(
Why are you re-reassing layout bugs? Do NOT touch layout bugs.

The bugs are assigned to Kipp so they can stay neatly organized until we have a
new owner for the block/inline code.

mass moving all Kipp's pre-beta bugs to M15.  Nisheeth and I will
prioritize these and selectively move high-priority bugs into M13 and M14.

This has been fixed by recent improvements in the pre wrap handling.  The
plaintext editor looks fine now.  Marking fixed.
