white-space: nowrap is not working in IE in a horizontally scrolling box

css

Solution

Found it! We were using `word-wrap: break-word` higher up. It seems that `word-wrap` interferes with `white-space` in Internet Explorer. Fix for this was to set `word-wrap: normal` on the element with `white-space: nowrap`.

Problem

I'm using `white-space: nowrap` combined with inline-block'd elements to create a horizontally scrolling box. For some reason, in IE, the `white-space: nowrap` is being ignored and items are wrapping.
