Description

[Michael Graubart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050504
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050504

On this site and page, the lines of text extend indefinitely to the right
instead of wrapping so as to fit into the window. In Firefox and earlier builds
of Mozilla (e.g.20050425) and in Safari the page displays correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to this page.
2.Examine the lines of text.

Actual Results:  
Text extends indefinitely to the right.

Expected Results:  
The lines should wrap so as to be contained within the window.

eMac G4, OS X 10.3.9, Classic theme. NB: this bug is characteristic of recent
builds of Mozilla, and does not affect earlier ones, nor Firefox and Safari.
