Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 292534

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050713 MultiZilla/1.8.1.0a SeaMonkey/1.0a

Hello, if you go to the news site listed above, pick any article and then go to
the discussion section attached to each article, the comments can be displayed
in the form of a tree. In almost all cases, if I click on a comment (= heading),
the heading wraps. If my pointer happens to be out of the area for which the
wrapped link is sensitive, I'm out of luck and need to click the now-wrapped
link again to read the post. If instead I click far enough to the left so the
pointer is still within the sensitive area after the link wraps, the new page
will be loaded. This happens despite there being well enough space to hold the
unwrapped line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to (ex.)
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/go.shtml?read=1&msg_id=8444904&forum_id=81889
2. click "Alles aufklappen"
3. click on the heading of the last comment with the pointer being over
"zeit..." (ie, near the end of line)

Actual Results:  
The last word plus the ellipsis will get wrapped into the next line, turning

"Die Daten gibts in Echtzeit..."  into

"Die Daten gibts in
Echtzeit..."



Expected Results:  
The link should not be wrapped, and the new page should simply be loaded.

Debian unstable on i386 (actually, i686) with 2.4.27-2 kernel

Not classifying "trivial" since it's a real nuisance.
