The new Sphinx based documentation has many code sample boxes where the content overflows and the rectange is smaller than the text which doesn't fit into the rendered HTML/PDF. Is this a common issue with Sphinx?

Hmmm, I've noticed this in the PDF output but haven't yet seen anything similar in the HTML output. Could you point me at a specific example?
Rebuilding the latest release now, was referring to previous RCs. It may very well be just the PDF output. I'll check Sunday and report here.
One example: 3.2.8, the second code box about hsc2hs.
HTML of the same section is fine.
There must be a way to fix this in the pipeline. I mean, you cannot find each and all and try to manually adjust the text.
I don't see the problem on this page[1]. In any case this would be an issue with the builder that turns the doctree into HTML, PDF or whatever.
