Created attachment 13977 [details] screenshot of problem This long URL breaks in Chrome, both in the preview area and once saved. It doesn't break in the edit-window. (See screenshot) https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Wikimedia+Foundation+Inc.,+New+Montgomery+Street,+San+Francisco,+CA&hl=en&sll=37.7577,-122.4376&sspn=0.197332,0.41851&oq=wikimedi&t=m&z=16&iwloc=A Possibly this is a browser problem, as making a long url without any characters-that-can-be-assumed-as-linebreaks (eg. a long string of "dddd...") will also break out of the edge in Firefox, eg https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Quiddity/sandbox&oldid=584480274 However, the ",+&=" characters in that googlemaps link should provide ample opportunity for linebreaks, so possibly it's a Flow/Parsoid/MW bug.

Created attachment 14257 [details] screenshot of chromium Newer example: http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Zoidbergsays&workflow=050dcd57c763f00fc8b1fa163e68c4ac It busts out of the topic-title area in both Chromium and Firefox, Within the post - in Firefox it gets wrapped correctly, but in Chromium it creates the overflow-horizontal-scrollbar. I'm not sure if this can be fixed.
This is a browser issue as far as I'm concerned. The way to fix it would probably be some CSS word breaking setting. See: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/prevent-long-urls-from-breaking-out-of-container/
