Oops, bug indeed. fixed. Thank you :)

I see three ways of doing this:
* using non-breaking spaces in that text
* forcing 1em height on the heading, which would make the second line  
disappear
* forcing 2em height on the heading, making it look less nice, but  
there would be space for a second line without the jumping effect.

I'm leaning toward the last solution, thoughts?

Agreed. Will see what I can do while remaining consistent across our  
tools.
