[PATCH] Monspace can affect paragraph line-wrap

[jason]

Try to add this paragraph to a wiki page:

By the way, blah blah blah, blah blah blah, and blah blah blah on the text and you find then this is an issue that must be fixed by blah blah blah with a blah that is blah blah and the text in the Some Long Monospace string that could force a line wrap to occur file and merging with the rest of your blah blah. Blah blah blah must be added as constants in Another.Long.Filename.All.In.Monospace rather than blah blah blah in place of blah. That way if the blah blah blah needs to blah blah blah we only have to blah blah blah.

Notice that the paragraph line-wrap kinda just stops at some point and the text just runs off the edge of the browser. I'm using IE6. Haven't tried other browsers but this really should work in IE. I've tried different varitions of the paragraph but can't see an obvious pattern that causes it. I've also noticed that even changing the width of the browser can affect line-wrap correctness.

Wow, indeed, the rendering is quite broken in IE (same thing for IE7).

Works as expected in Firefox and Opera.

This is related to r3742 which added tt { white-space: pre } to the CSS. There appear to be some tricks to use the "pre-wrap" mode which looks like it will work better: ​http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tracker-discuss/2007-January/000436.html

I have applied the following monospace.patch and have not noted any ill effects in ie7 and firefox2.
