Long lines in forum editor's source-view mode trail are hard to read

When editing a post in source-mode here in the forums, long lines trail off to the right, so only a small portion is visible at any one time. This makes editing in source mode more difficult.

The cause is that white-space is set to "pre" on .cke_source in "/plugins/CKEditor/skins/flat/editor.css". Setting it instead to "pre-wrap" fixes this issue by allowing long lines to wrap, but otherwise preserving white-space.

    Thanks for pointing out the specific fix!  We don't have easy access to the CSS files for these forums, but I can add JavaScript snippets.  So I added a style to the page with JavaScript to alter the white-space style to pre-wrap.  Let me know if you see any issues.
