What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
http://yourservername.com/r/5/diff/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Internet Explorer ( I am using version 6 )
2. View any diff

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A two-column diff that fits within the width of my window.
I see a two-column diff that requires a horizontal scroll to view the
entire thing.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Windows. IE 6.

Please provide any additional information below.
Not sure if IE is supported, but I stumbled upon this and thought I'd just
throw the bug out there.

This is due to IE not wrapping if there's a line that's really long with no breaking
spaces. We may have to start injecting some invisible character that will cause it to
wrap.

We've decided that since this is a corner-case browser bug and the only workaround
both increases download sizes and rendering time on every other browser, and still
will make this look funky depending on window sizes, we're not going to fix this for IE6.

seems adding style of "table-layout:fixed" on the table works for IE 6
