in css/layout.css line 

(around line 929) change
table.vboxDetailsTable td.vboxDetailDescriptionCell { padding-left: 20px; }

to
table.vboxDetailsTable td.vboxDetailDescriptionCell { padding-left: 20px; 
white-space: pre; }

Works very well on modern browsers

I would use

table.vboxDetailsTable td.vboxDetailDescriptionCell { padding-left: 20px; 
white-space: pre-wrap; }

so that long lines cannot destroy the layout.
