First of all: the length of the number of characters that is displayed is not the problem.
After some testing I came to the conclusion that there are two problems.
Problem 1:
When the last line ends with a quote-character (' or ") and there is no space between the last word and this quote-character, the date (on which the item is posted) is always positioned on the same line as the last word, no matter if the line becomes to long. This makes the column too wide.
Some examples:
The following ending gives rise to a problem:
1234567890123'
leads to
1234567890123' (20/11/2003)
Not a problem are the following endings of the title:
12345678901234
leads to
12345678901234
(20/11/2003)
and
1234567890123' x
leads to
1234567890123'
x (20/11/2003)
and
1234567890123 '
leads to
1234567890123
' (20/11/2003)
Problem 2:
If a word does not fit on one line because it is too long, it makes the whole column wider. This is especially a problem when people switch to larger characters.
I don't know if there is a solution to that.
