A post with a long title goes out of bounds

[vimukthiperera]

When creating a post with a very long title, the activity in the dashboard goes out of order.

Fixes bug with long titles in recent activity. Rathe than create a new CSS rules, I think I've used the most logical existing WP admin CSS class.

I don't think your solution is fitting perfectly, while being elegant. After all it's just using word-wrap: break-word; to solve this issue. But the class name is not really at place. And in the meantime we have a nice little collection of things going out of bounds:

A post with a long title goes out of bounds
#37555

Username text overflows in error message box on login screen.
#37617

long page title issue in drop down list setting>reading page
#37582

text overflows, if it has no hyphens on media upload page.
#37581

...?

Until now WordPress uses only a few instances of word-wrap: break-word; and text-overflow: ellipsis;

My conclusion is to add a new class or two, combining these cases system-wide.

There also seems to be a nice javascript-code helping us, if we wanted that.

I leave the housekeeping to the inner circle of coders now… :)

@Presskopp - I understand your reasoning for challenging this, and would also wonder if a new common CSS rule should be introduced - but I was trying to avoid doing this as there is a rule that's perfectly acceptable already in the admin CSS.

-1 for Javascript to achieve this, although an interesting idea I feel that it's overkill personally.
