In the page at http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;157234, Microsoft
includes a text box which is supposed to hold formatted C Source code.  The
white space processing appears to be ignored with all text appearing a one
single long line of single spaced words.

Reproducible: Always

http://support.microsoft.com/common/css/default/xmlContent.css?1 has:
.kb div pre
{
[...]
	white-space: normal;

so this is not a mozilla bug. the page is requesting this rendering.

-> tech evangelism.

To be honest, I do not care if this is what is being requested.  The page
renders the way users expect it to be rendered in I.E.  At least take a look at
the way I.E. handles it before you throw this bug report away.
