IE problems with Calendar plug-in

I am running a calendar/events plug-in called Calendar by Kieran O’Shea. This on Lifestyle 4.0 and WP 4.0

Here is the Calendar plugin page

Here is the Calendar page on my site:

The problem is with IE, sigh. The calendar looks good on Mac Safarai/Firefox and on my PC IE8/Firefox. But viewed through earlier IEs the entries break after one word and look ridiculous, vertically. And now I am hearing from some PC users with IE 8 that it is breaking this way as well, although I can’t duplicate that.

Here is an example of the bad breaks on IE:
(this is someone else’s site)

The developer has said he can’t duplicate this and it must be a problem with the theme. Others on his forum have had the issue.

Here is one fix from that forum that didn’t work for me — the last two lines are new:

.calnk a {
text-decoration:none;
color:#000000;
border-bottom:1px dotted #000000;
display: block;
min-width:95px;
}

Here is the plug-in’s CSS file

.calnk a:hover {
background-position:0 0;
text-decoration:none;
color:#000000;
border-bottom:1px dotted #000000;
}
.calnk a:visited {
text-decoration:none;
color:#000000;
border-bottom:1px dotted #000000;
}
