works for me (in chrome anyway) admittedly it seems a bit hacky but at least it easily allows the multiline width to be defined on a case by case basis so it's probably worth the code smell :-)

Let me know if you run into probs with it, could always drop the hint--multiline--data class if it causes cross browser headaches
