    I discovered an interesting bug recently. If you post a comment, that doesn't contain any newline or whitespace characters it all will be displayed in a single line. Probably, an error in comment-listing function (wp_list_comments())
    You can view the effect on a screenshot:

    :)
    I can understand why this error was not spotted before.
    It's hard to write something very long without any whitespace in it.

    this is not an error, or bug in/on the server side. its a css bug.

    DrVillain, thanks. Now I know that it's simply cured with overflow:hidden. Theme can be closed now.
