416749 - Wrapping fails when line is made up of small blocks of processed (e.g. colored) text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[James Ross]

If you say %C8YELLO! lots of times without spaces, it wont wrap. We generate lots of <span>s for the colours, but with no space or <wbr> between, they wont wrap.

Proposed solution: add a <wbr> after each styled <span>.

Note that this is kinda similar to bug 211272, but there I don't think we have an easy way out.

Nit: Line this up.

+	containerTag.appendChild(wbr.cloneNode(true));

Nit: Use 8 spaces, not 1 tab here.

r=silver with those fixed (which I'll do before check-in)

Thanks for the patch!
