I've seen this a few times...
take a look at http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?p=852736#post852736

the word exec is split into "exe c" when you use code tags.

It still adds the scrollbar.
If you want to avoid the scrollbar, why add spaces instead of a \CRLF?
IMO, nothing inside [code] tags should have its formatting changed.

But in the posts themselves, if not for those space the text wouldn't wrap and you could have huge unbroken lines of text, causing massive horizontal scrolling.

I still don't understand...call me slow :D
But there's a huge massive scrollbar there. How does inserting those spaces prevent massive horizontal scrolling?

The piece of code that inserts the spaces doesn't understand that it should only do its space-insertion outside code tags, not everywhere. That code should probably be fixed to see whether the text is inside a code tag before splitting the words, if possible. ;)

Ahh I see, in the regular post...(heh...like jp said).
Well I for one consider it broken behavior in [code] tags...you should be able to copy and paste the text from inside them. I've seen someone beat their head in wondering why a script wouldn't work, and it turned out there was a space inserted that was very hard to see.

(yeah, okay....it was me.)
