I'm still using SM 1.1.16, but I doubt that is a factor here.

I have noticed lately that quite a few screens I have opened while using 
 Navigator have had content 'bleeding' off to the right (to use a 
printer's term), in other words, lines of text aren't wrapped.


For a long time, this was never a problem when I was using SM.  Has 
something gone awry in my browser?  All help appreciated.


It is not SeaMonkey specific and _it is_ a long time problem with 
the content on the Web.  Most probably you're encountering a Web 
form(?) which uses tables for layout where one of the posts 
contained in a table cell contains very wide image which in turn 
widens the whole table.  See the attached example and preview in 
other browsers to compare.

Title: Text Wrap








Sample text pargraph which should wrap inside the 
viewport... Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing 
elit. Phasellus in nisl turpis. Suspendisse ac erat vel justo blandit 
luctus et eu est. Nulla facilisi. Cras aliquam libero sit amet elit 
elementum vehicula. Nam non orci sed arcu pharetra posuere ac et 
enim.


  






  
  


Sample text pargraph which would not wrap inside the 
viewport... Sed quis mattis sapien. Vestibulum quis nunc in augue 
pharetra interdum. Donec magna justo, gravida ac tincidunt in, posuere 
eget velit. Sed eu orci risus. Phasellus bibendum malesuada euismod. 
Nulla ac ipsum sapien, eu fermentum nibh.

I normally see this when there is a graphic on the page that forces the 
width of the page to be greater than my screen resolution would allow.

 Thanks - Ken (in Oz)

Can you give us some URIs where this is happening?

Generally, this happens when the Web developer has made wrong
assumptions about the size of users' monitors (that everyone is using a
large one) or about the resolutin of the screen (1280x600 or more).
Both assumptions are contrary to good design principles.  See
http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/abdesign2.html#screensize.
