It's truly evil, but thankfully it's now dead; fixed in
gtkhtml3-3.3.0-2.rpm and in upstream CVS.

There was an error doing conversion between Pango units and GtkHtml
units; it affected text in the Preformat style beginning at column 0; I
believe the text width was getting calculated as larger than the space
available, so it was line-wrapping at every word break.
