See the cited URL, which uses <pre wrap width=68>. The long line should wrap, and does on 4.5, but doesn't on seamonkey (on either Linux or Windows). Mail/news people will need this for compose window dogfood (plaintext editor).

Reassigning QA contact to glynn@netscape.com (assigned to PRE element).

Okay, an update. It turns out that "cols" rather than "width" is actually the approved attribute, and we have two bugs: 1. "cols" doesn't work. I've modified the test page pre.html to wrap at 10 cols. This works on 4.5, but not on viewer. This functionality will be important for plaintext editing. 2. "wrap" doesn't. On 4.5, wrap with no cols wraps to the window size; on 5.0 it doesn't wrap at all, we get a horizontal scrollbar. This is less important for plaintext editing milestone; we'll probably be specifying column width explicitly for the first pass. There's also a question of whether "width" should have any effect inside a pre wrap tag; I'm not sure of the answer to that, emacs' html-mode thinks width is a valid modifier to pre and I thought I saw another reference which agreed, but can't find it now.

Cc:ing self. kipp, is there any possibility of getting this done for M4, so that we can get plain text mail compose working better?

pre width is deprecated and a bug has been filed concerning it not working for backwards compat. I do not see a pre wrap or cols attribute in HTML 4.0 or 3.2 spec (?).

I just checked in the implementation for this; note that its not 100% compatible with nav4...
