I've got a problem in that the preformatted text is too wide (also, a horizontal scrollbar is being rendered at the foot of the content, but not at the top, so there's no immediate feedback that there's potentially a problem; it's only when you get to the end that you see the scrollbar and think 'oh, hey, that's why the text on the right-hand side is being truncated!).

I've checked the help, can't see anything relevant. I see three other threads in the forum voicing similar concerns, but they're all closed.

Problem is demonstrated at this page (using FireFox 10.02.2):

Any assistance would be cool. I really don't want to have to reformat the content, if I can avoid that.
