Similar to the problem described in Post Overflow, long words don't break when they are placed inside <script> tags in a post.

Script tags seem to get removed when rendering, so I think the resulting text just needs to be wrapped in <p> tags to solve this problem. Or if the word wrapping is intentional, there should be a scrollbar.

Example:

wwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

There is another issue that would be solved if the text was rendered inside a paragraph. There is no space after placing a paragraph after a script tag.

<script>foo</script>


bar

results in:

foo

bar

    I the text is even longer, it will add a horizontal scrollbar to the whole page. – kapex Sep 28 '13 at 18:22

    <iframe> tags also work. – Qantas 94 Heavy Sep 29 '13 at 2:33
  • Interestingly, it does not affect the suggested edits page: meta.stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/18487 – Qantas 94 Heavy Sep 29 '13 at 2:43
  • @Qantas94Heavy Nice find, the compare edit page has a css rule td.post-text with word-wrap: break-word; which would also work on the default view. – kapex Sep 29 '13 at 9:21

word-wrap: break-word was only set on .post-text p and .post-text li (and the corresponding .wmd-preview), but it needs to be on everything (except for code blocks). Fixed in the next build.
