Re: [Laszlo-dev] Why is DHTML text sprite `whitespace: nowrap`?

[Max Carlson]

We use 'whitespace: nowrap' so single-line text doesn't wrap onto the 
next line if it overflows the its container's bounds.

In swf, the text elements act like `whitespace: pre` (they preserve whitespace 
and newlines).

This screws the debugger in DHTML, because it writes a lot of formatted text 
using whitespace, which is currently collapsed because the sprite uses 
`whitespace: nowrap`.
