Overflowing text

On this answer to my question over on Languages, you can see how it ended up overflowing the post area and how part of it is hidden underneath the side widget.

This is because of the long string of text without any spaces, which breaks word-wrapping and pushes the side of the post outward.

Not sure if it works for other cases, but adding word-break: break-all; for the paragraph seems to fix the issue.

@Alexei that would totally work, since the issue is due to the word-wrap not being set to wrap long 'words'

It seems fixed now?
