Comment:

 Getting some reports from WP.com customers about IE9 and sidebar text not
 breaking at word level, it breaks in the middle of words and makes it
 really hard to read.

 We should relook at our hyphenation on {{{.widget-area .widget}}} and
 maybe consider adding a rule just for IE9, using the alternate {{{word-
 wrap: break-word;}}} instead.

 Or ... decide that really long URLs breaking the sidebar is an acceptable
 edge case. I'd rather have the long URL breakage versus normal text not
 reading nicely, which is much more common.

 To repeat:

 1. Make a text widget with a paragraph of normal text, and also a long
 URL.
 2. View in IE9.

 Live example is http://paolobelcastro.com/ — see the Welcome widget text
 in IE9. Screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/361H45410z3L.
