Answer 1

I had the same problem, I solved it using following css:

.className {
  white-space:pre-wrap;
  word-break:break-word;
}

Answer 2

In my situation I am trying to ensure words wrap at proper word-breaks within table cells.

I found I need the following CSS to achieve this.

table {
  table-layout:fixed;
}
td {
  white-space: wrap;
}

also check that nothing else is changing word-break to break-word instead of normal.

Answer 3

Word break issue on Firefox browser. So you can use to prevent word-break:

-webkit-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;

Answer 4

For me, the parent was smaller than the word. Adding will break on spaces, but not words :

    word-break: initial;

Answer 5

I faced a similar problem in my grid structure and I used, word-break: break-word; in my grid and my issue got resolved.

Answer 6

You can try this...

body{
white-space: pre; /* CSS2 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla */
white-space: -hp-pre-wrap; /* HP printers */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: pre-wrap; /* CSS 2.1 */
white-space: pre-line; /* CSS 3 (and 2.1 as well, actually) */
word-wrap: break-word; /* IE */
}

{word-wrap:;} is an IE proprietary property, and not a part of css. firefox's handling is correct. Unfortunately, FF does not support a soft hyphen / . so that's not an option. You could possibly insert a hair or thin space,  /  (check me on the numeric entity) and  / , respectively.

Making {overflow: hidden;} would cut the overflow off, and {overflow: auto;} would cause the overflow to enable scrolling.
