    A long text is not wrapped according to the column width. The width of the column is then fixed by the length of the text!

      Hi Nguyen,

      I have done a test in normal a html with the following code:

      <table border = "1">
<tr>
<td width="30%">longlongtextwithoutspace</td>
<td width="70%">Testing</td>
</tr>
</table>

      As a result, this is an expected behavior which the text is wrapped according to the length of the text.

      Regards,
      MG
