If a button's text is long (long enough to make the button longer than the 
content area) but contains spaces, the text should be wrapped to make the 
button narrower.
The best way to do this is probably to implement 'inline-block' (once it is
defined) and then define button in terms of it...

button { max-width: 100%; }

in html.css is a simple patch for this.
Not perfect, but much better than now.

Huh. What'dya know. I made the text flow as desired (at least in Firefox 1.5.0.1/Linux). I set the form's width to 100% (inherit didn't work) and set the button's width to inherit.

So. It would seem that neither FORM nor BUTTON properly handle WIDTH.

Does this help narrow the problem?
The testcase in the URL field gets wrapped correctly in a fresh build from just after the reflow branch landed.  For comparison, it created a long horizontal scrollbar in a 2006-12-05 nightly build.

-> FIXED by reflow branch landing.
