I assume you're referring to the lines on the left side of the page where one
character is displayed on the next line.

Is the cause extra spacing around the list bullets or a different font size?  If
the latter, we've discussed this already, and this is a duplicate of a
WONTFIX/INVALID bug.  If the former, there might be something we could do.

It's worth noting that the web site really shouldn't be making such precise
assumptions about the metrics of the font that will be used to display the text
-- that font might not be available on other operating systems, so this is
really a case of poor web page design.

I think it isn't the former reason.I have tried to decrease the font size,but
after refreshment,the whole page seems ugly as the text became blured although
unexpected wrap disappear.
What I use is windows os,I think web page showed by mozilla and IE should have
identical appearance with default configuaration.
