Comment (by bgamari):

 Indeed; I had noticed this when looking through the PDF but really don't
 know what can be done about it. Unfortunately LaTeX doesn't always give
 you sane behavior without some tweaking. Any of the solutions described in
 [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/790932/how-to-wrap-text-in-latex-
 tables#comment37681141_790944|here]] would be fine. I tried to change the
 entire users guide over to using the `tabulary` environment in place of
 `tabular` unfortunately it [[http://www.sphinx-
 doc.org/en/stable/config.html#latex-options|does not appear]] to be
 possible to override which environment LaTeX uses for tables and all of my
 attempts at hacking LaTeX into compliance via others means were
 unsuccessful. At this point I gave up.

 I suspect the right solution here is to simply add an option to Sphinx to
 override the environment used for tables. Feel free to bring this up with
 the Sphinx folks.
