If an unregistered user's name is long enough, it will cause the network profile and mod links to wrap to a second, hidden line. You can access this line by drag-selecting the username down, but there is no scroll-bar.

For example, see the user account that I created for this purpose:

https://electronics.stackexchange.com/users/22132/long-usernames-cause-wordwraps

Below is an image that illustrates the differences between a long username, and a short username.

  • \$\begingroup\$ What are 'mod links'? Network profile is on the same line when I see it. Perhaps it only wraps for the user when he is logged in, and not to other users? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @CamilStaps I believe it may only be a bug for moderators. Sorry you can't enjoy this one too ;) \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Looks fine to me too. However, anyone that creates a user name that absurdly long deserves to have it get truncated and look stupid. Don't do that (duh). \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @OlinLathrop there already is a maximum length of 30. I think it would be better to adapt the theme to that maximum. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ By the way, this isn't only a bug for moderators, you can see it yourself when giving your own profile a very long name. \$\endgroup\$

I've limited the display size of the user name in that page to 400px.

It will be rolled out in the next build.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Hrm... now the line wrap appears to be happening much more frequently - on most EE.SE users now. Oddly enough, the meta.EE.SE accounts look mostly fine. \$\endgroup\$
