This page has been verified HTML compliant. It does wrap around on IEX. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just bring the page up 2. 3.
Those links specify nowrap. The whitespace around the "|" is   which is not supposed to wrap. Therefore the browser has no location it is allowed to wrap around, so IE is behaving incorrectly.
This only happens in quirks mode. Changing the DTD to 4.0 Strict shows the desired layout

Having submitted this bug, I'm no longer sure it is one after reading comments - at least not in the way I originally thought. Perhaps more a case of over-faithful rendering. I have now changed the separator string between the keywords in the header to "&nbsp | &nbsp" and now it wraps the line as intended. Oliver Tickell.

The bug is actually slightly different to how originally described - having carried out the corrections suggested by comment #1, another problem has emerged: the line does wrap around, however it does so too 'late' so that the line overspills the right margin of its 'container'. Oliver Tickell.
This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Both www.tfx.org.uk and www.edwardgoldsmith.com share a similar design and don't show non-breaking menus or text overlap when resized in bonech/minefield from today. -> WFM.
