What is the purpose of adding `nowrap` class to all ForeignKey fields in django admin objects list?

Django adds `nowrap` class to your `td` if you specify list_display to show any ForeignKey.

I can't see the purpose to do it. Any considerably long title breaks table layout hard.

Do I miss smth or may be it would be better to just remove it?

Did you try looking through git blame to find the commit that added it?

https://github.com/django/django/commit/0b53d318 might be what you're looking for.

Didn't think about that way to investigate, thanks for the tip.

That commit says that it was added because list_editable FK widget would break into several line otherwise (same with date widgets).

Well, seems legit. But it's added even if the field is not in list_editable.

And now I start thinking that it's a bug rather than random issue.
