I'd guess a browser difference (I'm using IE11), though there could probably be other reasons. In any event, we now know an extra reason not to produce excessively wide pre-formatted material!

I think you are right about the browser difference. Have a look at
viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1342 which has the same data using code, table and pre tags
In Chrome, I see:
Code data has a vertical scroll bar, and the text is wrapped within the code window. The code window appears to be left-justified within the post
Table data has no scroll bars and is centre-justified horizontally within the post. Text is wrapped within each column
Pre data has a horizontal scroll bar and is left-justified within the post. The scroll bar moves all data in the post, not just the data in the pre tags
In IE11, I see:
Same as Chrome....Code data has a vertical scroll bar, and the text is wrapped within the code window. The code window appears to be left-justified within the post
Same as Chrome.....Table data has no scroll bars and is centre-justified horizontally within the post. Text is wrapped within each column
Pre data has no scroll bars, is left-justified within the post, and text is wrapped. A mess!!
In Firefox, I see:
Same as Chrome....Code data has a vertical scroll bar, and the text is wrapped within the code window. The code window appears to be left-justified within the post
Same as Chrome.....Table data has no scroll bars and is centre-justified horizontally within the post. Text is wrapped within each column
Pre data is same as Chrome....has a horizontal scroll bar and is left-justified within the post
