No, sorry I mixed things up. 

Here is the solution: Changing "white-space: pre" to "white-space: pre-wrap" for the affected styles does the trick.

Internet Explorer doesn't support "pre-wrap" but it doesn't matter here because 
 a) pre elements have hard-wired "white-space: pre" semantics with this browser
 b) Internet Explorer doesn't have the problem in the first place
