image with trouble, exif data intact, and text files for comparison

Metadata (EXIF) display 2-column table width is not limited to screen width or some "sensible" maximum width, especially for long unbroken data as in User Comments.

Example: (click Show Extended Details) 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TushiesbyMultibrands.jpg#metadata

Expected result: long text to be force-linebroken within a screen-width bounded table, and to remain visible.

Actual result: for long un-line-broken data as in User Comments, width of table grows without limit to N screens wide. 2nd column EXIF data is displayed centered, so that info shifts N/2 screen-widths to the right, breaking visibility.

Suggestion 1: (simplest) Left-justify data in 2nd column of Metadata table, with a small in-cell left-padding. This could be just styling in a master css file...

Suggestion 2: Fix width of invisible outer bounding table to screen width, to limit inner table. This will allow inner table to remain narrow for normal EXIF text, but force wrapping for long unbroken non-English text.
Comment 1 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2012-12-10 23:26:48 UTC
There's a part of me that thinks the table might just look nicer in general with left alignment...
Comment 2 Jan Ainali 2013-03-25 19:38:05 UTC
I agree, center alignment are broken with these wide fields. Another example (since the image above is deleted) is:
