           Summary: "Paragraphs" in citations should not break into separate
                    columns
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mozilla_Firefo
                    x&oldid=279687617#cite_note-66
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: Normal
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Example in the URL field.
In this case, the highlighted reference is split across two columns.  Is there
some form of CSS that may be applied to citations to prevent this?  It is very
confusing, especially to people unfamiliar with MediaWiki's citation system.  

To reproduce:
1) Use or copy to the test wiki [[w:Template:reflist]] (on the English
Wikipedia).
2) create a large collection of citations (fill them with any form of nonsense
text you please)
3) Sometimes the last citation in the first or second column will "overflow"
onto the next column.

I don't think this is a problem with [[w:Template:reflist]]

What should happen:
The ends of columns of references must always coincide with the ends of
references themselves.  If a ref is too long, it should be moved to the next
column, without splitting.

Setting Component to "General/Unknown" since none of the components seemed to
have particular relevance (I looked for a "references" or "citations" but
didn't see anything)
