Hi all
So I have a devilishly tricky issue, here is a screen shot to explain.
In this screen shot you can clearly see the problem, in the box on the left the anchor is set to display: inline-block; and shrink wraps its text as expected.
However in the box or the right something is wrong, the text has wrapped to a new line since it's too big to fit on one line, yet despite also being set to display: inline-block the anchor fails to shrink wrap its text.
Now As you can see in this screen shot
If I explicitly set a line brake via the <br> tag, then the anchor correctly shrink wraps its text as expected.
So my question is how can I get the anchor to shrink wrap its text when that text wraps to a new line without having to go through the html adding zillions of brake tags which is rather messy.
Surly there is a better way ?!?!
why don't inline-block elements shrink wrap when text wraps

Why use inline-block instead of defaulting to inline?
