I just noticed that when I have a multiline text field, the words are
wrapped in a yucky way in IE8; they seem to get
broken not at whitespace boundaries, but at the first letter that goes over
the right margin.

Example:

<canvas width="100%" height="80%" debug="true">
    <text name="tview" bgcolor="#cccccc"
          multiline="true" width="150"
          fontsize="24"> Continental Crackup Adventure Season Of The
Witch</text>
</canvas>

In IE8/DHTML this displays as

Continental
Crackup Ad
venture Sea
son Of The
Witch

Whereas in FFox or Safari it displays as

Continental
Crackup
Adventure
Season Of
The Witch

Is there a IE8 CSS setting to control this  word wrap behavior?
