Comment (by gaelan):

 First post here, looking to start helping with bug fixes.

 Simply removing the {{{.fixed}}} class from the table seems to help.  The
 text wraps nicely in Excerpt mode even at very small table widths once
 that class is removed.

 But there's a lot of CSS that depends on that class being in place.  If
 {{{.fixed}}} is removed, the rest of the column widths aren't declared
 anymore and things like the comment bubble icon get broken.  I'd be
 hesitant to remove that class and just start rewriting all that CSS,
 especially as a newbie.

 Changing the CSS for {{{.fixed}}} tables to {{{table-layout: auto}}} seems
 to work nicely, but I'm not sure what the impact of the change would be
 across the rest of the back-end.  Can anyone confirm this suggested fix?
