increasing font size garbles words and loses word wrap
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Author: rchannon

Description:
I use IE 7.0.5730.11. Because I can't read the font on many web sites, I use the mouse wheel to enlarge the type. Unfortunately, in Wikipedia, the words then fail to wrap. In addition, some words overlap as shown on the attached screen shot. My solution is to copy the information to MS Word, but this is rather lumsy. Hope you can fix this sometime.

Adding testme. Please test with Internet Explorer 8 and note the result here.

Sorry I use IE 7 and dont have access to IE8. I notice that wikipedia still has problems with wordwrap - the words go off the screen when fonts are enlarged, but the overlapping of words does not *seem* to be happening any more. parts of some letters appear to be missing however or sometimes repeated.

This is definitely /not/ a parser bug, recategorizing.
