I'm getting very close on a vertical SolPartMenu I'm working on, but I'm running into one last snag.  I want the menu confined to the left side of the page in an area no wider than 171 pixels.  The problem is, some of my menu items are quite long.  I had assumed they would wrap to fit the container, but instead they push the container out past where I want it to end.  Examining the rendered HTML, the problem is that the [space] characters in the navigation items are being replaced with   so they won't break.

I did some digging and it seems the XML being returned from the GetNavigationNodes call has the regular space characters, not the offending   characters.  But by the time spmenu.js gets a hold of it, the   characters are in there.  Does anyone have any idea at what point the [space] characters are being replace with   characters and/or a way to keep that from happening
