Code view complaint

Re: member
Hello

Every time someone (myself included) adds code to a post, the code containing box extends to a stoopid width (about half a screens width off the right-hand site).

Any chance of a fix?
 
That has to do with the way browsers render tables and <pre> code. I think if you're going to complain to someone, complain to whoever made your browser (I'm guessing Apple in your case).
 
As Arden pointed out, the code directive uses the HTML pre entity. This is specifically designed so that the preformatted text remains formatted and doesn't wrap or break anywhere, leading to those stupid long boxes.

Yeah I find it annoying too, but it's there for a reason.
 
Wow, so much negativity... Well... since your all so pessimistic, why is it now fixed? CSS anyone :)

It is no problem controlling a <pre> with a style, surely you guys knew this!? (Thought this was elementary). Maybe I should've suggested it rather than assume, sorry. :(
