Symptoms

There is a <Font size=2> HTML tag in the table.
The browser text size is Medium (the default).
The first set of characters contains five or more letters or numbers (or both), followed by a space.
The browser window is maximized.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, use any of the following methods:

Do not use the <Font> tag; use cascading style sheets to format the text instead.
In the source, use a non-breaking space ( ) instead of a space between the words (for example, "Microsoft Corporation").
Use a size larger than 2 in the <Font> tag.
