weird formatting in individual tweet view
Two weird formatting-type issues in individual tweet view. One: mouse-over on the non-text part of the tweet - i.e. the star/delete buttons, or the meta info down below - screws up the visual alignment of the star/delete buttons. Two: A mysterious space in the text of the tweet, toward the end.
Mac OS X 10.4.11; FF 3.0.5. Former problem happens invariably; second, only when the tweet is 140 characters or just a few characters short.

Inappropriate?Twitter made this change recently to help the display line wrap when run-on characters prevent it. -
Inappropriate?Breaking words apart, which is what Twitter is doing, to fix this "display line wrap when run-on characters prevent it" is an unacceptable solution. Almost every individual tweet has a word that is broken into two words, with a space in the word. At times it makes the tweet's meaning harder to grasp due to the extra space.
Also, the double-star effect, which occurs when one hovers one's mouse in the white space area of an individual tweet, is very distracting.
Please fix this bug. Thanks!
I’m Would like bug fixed

Inappropriate?In fact, the above tweet used to represent krabigail's complaint illustrates my point.
Her wording is "or my name will be STABBY T. MILLER."
Yet, due to the Twitter bug, it appears she is saying "or my name will be STAB BY T. MILLER."
"STABBY" becomes "STAB BY." An adjective, "stabby," becomes a verb and a preposition, "stab by." This completely changes the meaning of the tweet.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Precisely. I'm not getting stabbed by any T. Miller. I'm getting stabby. Over this bug, which is very much a bug, no matter how much it wants to look like a "fix" or a "feature".
I’m stabby

Inappropriate?This seems to only happen with Firefox. I've tried Chrome and the tweet displays fine. It seems to display fine too on IE and Safari.
It also displays fine when I look at the individual tweet while I'm not logged in.
Bizarre! -
Inappropriate?I can confirm it also happens in the Opera browser.
I tested it in both Firefox and Opera, and the problem occurs in both browsers. -
Inappropriate?Oh, that's interesting. It looks fine on my Opera v9.52 browser on Windows Vista. Which version do you have, badkitty_?

Inappropriate?mdy, I'm using Opera version 9.61 for the Mac.
