    This is driving me insane, whenever the comment is a little longer in IE it pushes the whole theme off-screen and in firefox it just goes all the way to the side of the theme. I just can’t figure out how to limit it. And no i don’t use any plugins at all.

    Here’s what i mean http://www.ijustlikemovies.com/?p=1#comments

    It shouldn’t happen if there are spaces… you know like when a real person may be typing something.

    just checked it, yes you’re absolutely right ! but isn’t there some sort of fail safe measure in case someone for some reason does this ?

    Do you have a lot of visitors typing 100 character words?

    You can do a bit of CSS configuring to ‘hide’ any text overflow in the comments area:

    .commentlist p {
	overflow: hidden;
}

    That at least will deal with the text screwing up the layout. Another option:

    .commentlist p {
	overflow: auto;
}

    That will display a scroll bar on any comment that runs past the set (fixed) width.
