How do I get a WikiTree profile to fit my screen horizontally? [closed]

I have a profile page that doesn't fit my screen horizontally, i.e., I have to scroll horizontally to view the whole page.  This may be a local setting problem; but if so, I don't know how to fix it.  This anomaly appears to be isolated to a single profile, i.e, Adams-1506.  As far as I can tell, all other profiles wrap to screen or wrap to page, i.e., they fit horizontally.

I'm not at all sure this is a bug, or an open "<ref>" tag. Sometimes a bit of coding isn't closed and causes this.  Since the Edit tab is locked we can't look for the error.

Fixed.

(It was a Personal Memory where a line was indented manually, i.e. with spaces at the start of the line. In wiki mark-up, that means that the line should be pre-formatted. This includes not wrapping the line. Since the line doesn't wrap, it breaks the column width. This particular problem is so common, I think we should just disable the wiki mark-up styling for it.)

Okay, thanks for your help.  I discovered this anomaly some time ago but I thought it was a glitch that would eventually fix itselt.  As it turns out, this problem arises from a combination of awkward local editing and an optional Wiki program feature.  I'm not sure what will happen if you disable the Wiki program feature.  But "awkward local editing" is a feature of human participation you can depend on forever.
