OK, there were carriage returns inserted into that long string.
Page width remain as expected.
Hmmmm ....

That has made the whole Recent Comments page unreadable on my phone. It will stay that way until it scrolls off.

Actually it's probably the giant link in the other thread that did it.

Interesting.
The site seems to insert carriage returns for my laptop browser (currently Firefox).
I can read that string no problem here.
On to the next test ...

That would be it. Giant jpegs have the same effect.

OK, that seems to have triggered the page width problem here.
Note that I had to post the link, without a "h t t p s : / /" prefix during the preview stage of the submission process.
When I posted it during the entry process, the link was reduced to the usual underlined URL link.
But when posted while in Preview, and without the "h t t p s : / /" the link was not processed by the site and, instead, posted win its long form.
The oh so long form. :(
