On Firefox 3.5.2, the edit summary label stretches itself across the page (i.e. last line justified) when "Justify paragraphs" is enabled in the user preferences. WP:VPT: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29&oldid=307440890#Edit_summary_label_justified_looks_silly_on_Firefox_3.5.2 Screenshot: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/4881/justify.png Don't know if it is problematic on other browsers like IE8 because my IE8 has decided to act up again. Steps to reproduce: 1) Enable "Justify paragraphs" in the user preferences 2) Be bold and edit something -- x42bn6

This is because both the label and the following input field are inline (the input actually behaves just like a single very long word). What browsers do if the label contains text that is long enough to push the input field to the next line is correct: They can't break the input field between lines and therefore justify the label by inserting large amount of space. Possible workaround: .editOptions { text-align: left } .rtl .editOptions { text-align: right } Another approach is to change the label and/or the input field from inline to block, but that would make it look different in cases where the label would be short enough to fit on a single line together with the input field.
The preference was just recently removed (bug 52810), I guess that makes this a WONTFIX.
