Comment 31 for bug 326129

It seems firebug confused me by showing the style when inspected as "white-space: pre-wrap" when in fact it wasn't at all.

Konqueror 4.2.4 also shows non-wrapping, which is fixed by adding pre-wrap, but it also doesn't show monospace font (which I find annoying).

It is my understanding that the "word-wrap: break-word" is there for some obscure IE compatibility (IE/Win and Saf 1.3+ only according to a quick google).
