<td width> inconsistencies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Here's my code
<table>
    <tr>
        <td width="50">Thistextisareallylonglonglonglonglongtext</td>
    </tr>
</table>

I expected the <td> to wrap its text since I set the width for that specific 
<td> to 50. Although, IT DOESN'T WRAP.

I've tried:
1. <td style="word-wrap: break-word" width="50">
2. Defining the width of the td by setting it on <style> td {width: 
50px}</style>
3. style = "width:50px"

NOTE: When I set the width to something longer than the usual text (I tried 
setting width="700"), you can see the <td>'s width change to 700. I just don't 
understand why the word does not wrap when I define the <td>'s width to a 
length smaller than the length of the text.

I'm currently using dompdf_0-6-0_beta2.

Support for word-wrap:break-word was only added in r391, a little bit after 0.6 
beta 2, can you test with the SVN trunk ?

This probably has to do with how table cell widths are calculated. I tried it 
inside a div and it rendered as expected:

<div style="word-wrap: break-word; width: 
50;">Thistextisareallylonglonglonglonglongtext</div>

This bug is still present in beta 3. The text breaks correctly but the table 
cell seems to calculate it's width based on the unbroken text width.
