It seems to be due to a rather long text containing an URL - now turned into a link element - as such the layout problem is gone...

~~EDIT: Unfortunately, as I added this (not very informative) line above, now this site looks awful:(~~

Edit by Graeme: Removed the test string to make this post readable.

Feel free to clean up:)

This page shows the same overflow problem in IE8 as well.

Not too easy to catch the "Reply" button...

Looks like a "character overrun" - or is it a "wordbreak starvation":)

I shudder to say it, but are scroll bars the answer?

... or it is like the old joke: "Doctor doctor, it hurts when I do this [insert some crazy thing]. Reply: Well, stop doing it!".

The forum admin will know - personally, I just would break the offending line of text (as I have done in the original sample):)
