Isn't this the right behavior for horizontally-oriented boxes?

Correct, horizontal boxes don't constrain the width of their children.

Comment 4

Maybe it is correct behaviour for horizonal boxes but I don't think it's correct
behaviour for parahraph element. If html:p cannot display content horizontally
then it should get additional height. Is it right?

Changing the width of the window does not change the width of the html:p

Comment 6

[alexander :surkov (:asurkov)]

To comment #5. Sorry, what do you mean? Changing the width of the window does
change the width of the hbox what contains html:p. If parent node width of
html:p is changing then i think html:p should change width and height so that
content of html:p would not be croped.

When you make the window smaller the box simply overflows. We don't support the
overflow property on the root but if we did then scrollbars would appear.
