That post of mine is formatted incorrectly in the forum. The text of the table extends outside the area of the post and overlaps the right side bar of "My ***" links. Happens in many browsers on various platforms.
FYI: to produce that post, all I did was copy and paste the content of an HTML table (produced by the xslt of the visual studio activity log xml file).

I cannot duplicate your problem. I tried in this Sandbox thread:
The first post in the thread is a wide table I found elsewhere. The second post is the HTML for the table from your thread. This tells me you should be able to insert the table and it will word wrap to allow the entire table to show properly. My guess is that there is a mis-matched tag in the HTML that only a moderator can fix. I cannot find the problem myself.

On what size of window? <eg>
You can make the symptom go away if you widen the window enough (perhaps more than Maximized.)
Use the Developer Tools Find tool (F12, Ctrl-b) on a normal mode window which has been resized to be about two-thirds of your screen size or pin the Favorites Center to the window (Ctrl-Shift-I) and then click on the <tr> elements to see what is happening.
I don't know how you would fix this. You would have to put a horizontal scrollbar inside the reply to contain the table. Oh, I suppose it would look something like those PowerShell examples that you were also having trouble with? <eg>
