Some background:

To avoid comments to mess up with the layout, soft hyphens are automatically inserted into comments after 81 characters without whitespace. For me, that works wellthat works well:

Comment with a long code fragment

I have the same issue in Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OS X, both for code fragments and for normal text in comments. No problem in other browsers though.

Rollback to Revision 4 - Actually, the other non-problematic example had spaces in it. No wonder it wrapped nicely ;-)
