Er, why don't you try it and see.
For purposes of wordwrapping there are exactly three words up there,
separated by two spaces. (well, one of those spaces got converted by the
newsreader into a cr/lf but it is still white space). Those three words will
wrap or not at any canvas width(*). When the canvas is narrower then the
longest word (the last one) a horizontal scroll bar will appear.
If a browser behaves any differently then it is broken
(*) "resolution" has nothing to do with this. It is browser canvas width
that matters.
