User name in admin bar falls out of layout when avatars are disabled (German wordpress)

[osti47]

When avatars are disabled in German WordPress the user name in admin bar is word wrapped in Internet Explorer 11 and therefore "hangs" below the admin bar.

(see attached screen shots, one with text selected for visibility)

This is not related to any specific theme, seems to happen for all themes (site in screen shot uses up to date Twenty Fourteen)

absolute positioning for profile link's icon, then continuing to override those styles when link has an avatar image

[sabernhardt]

also absolute positioning, but using :not() to avoid need to override styles

The word wrap happens in Internet Explorer, and attached are two possible ways to fix it.

The link likely needs white-space: nowrap. Instead of using padding for Internet Explorer only, I switched from the float property on the icon to absolute positioning.

This issue with Internet Explorer was already reported in #26933, so the discussion can continue there instead.
