Hmm, yes, I know I ignored that the problem might be
elsewhere by using a quick fix.  ;-)  If there are some
things going on deeper in the API, then it would affect more
than just this, so I'll keep digging.  But for now at least
this seems to work well enough.  But yeah, it does not
explain why IE was not having the same problem, so the
problem still exists in Mozilla.  :-\  Ahh well.

Go to the end of the line.  Add nowrap.  Done.  :-)

<        var ret = '<tr><td><img src="'+iWht.src+'"
height="1" width="5"></td><td valign="top">';
>        var ret = '<tr><td><img src="'+iWht.src+'"
height="1" width="5"></td><td valign="top" nowrap>';

See if that fixes it!  Folks, try it, and let us know if it
breaks anything.

Doug, thanks for the tip, it may very well apply to three
other recent bugs.

Attached screenshot.
I think problem is in explorer.style.js
_adjustSize function. After I change it to always use
_OldAdjustSize, tree size is correct, and text is not wrapped.
Checked this on IE and firefox.

i may be just p***ing in the wind, however, I do recall a
bug in mozilla/ff itself where the content width is invalid
under most conditions.. mayhapse there is contentwidth being
used, or the autoresize thingy, in which case I would not
expect it to work in ff correctly.

Hoever, FF renders CSS better (and mor consitantly) than any
other browser I have worked which may explain why it's okay
when you set the style class.

cheers

Umm, where's the screenshot?  In any case...

Ahh yes, I did notice this too in Mozilla 1.0.6 / WinXP. 
But I hadn't looked in IE6.  I just assumed it was an
alternative listing style.  But I too would expect it to be
on one line.  In IE, the Explorer apparently expands to
accommodate the text.  In Mozilla, the text is wrapped and
the Explorer shrinks (or vice versa).

If I take the HTML for a leave and look at it alone in
Mozilla, it seems fine.  I have no idea why the explorer
won't grow big enough to let the text not wrap.  Yet the
explorer on the right (mail) seems fine to me.

Look at these lines for a clue.

File: dynapi/examples/dynapi.gui.explorer.html

19:  var exp = new Explorer(70,100);
44:  var exp2 = new Explorer(270,100,null,null,'ExplorerBlock');

Change line 19 above to this:

19:  var exp = new Explorer(70,100,null,null,'ExplorerBlock');

Change nothing else.  Seems to work fine.  The Explorer
Block Style seems to handle the thing properly.  At this
point I have no idea how, or which way is correct, or why,
or how to fix, etc.  :p  I'm looking in to quite a few bugs
already.  If anyone can figure this out please share your
solution.
