Mozilla gets it right, IE is broken.

IE seems to be using the pipe character "|" as whitespace, allowing the text
to wrap, whereas Mozilla correctly treats the "|" as a hard character, with
the same attributes as any other visible character. (IE also gets the
hyphen wrong, allowing text to wrap at a hyphen.) In HTML text should only
wrap at whitespace characters - spaces, carriage returns, tabs etc.

 To fix: I would consider using three custom link bars, or if the
navigation is fixed (not likely to change) modify the nav bar in a text
editor (Notepad) removing the Webbot comments and breaking the bar at
appropriate places.
