fix(frontend): Wrap long unbroken text in rendered EditableTextField#264
Merged
Conversation
The rendered display used whitespace-pre-wrap but no word-breaking, so a long unbroken string (e.g. a URL or token in an incident description) overflowed its container. The textarea soft-wraps by default, which is why the edit field looked fine but the rendered version did not. Add break-words (overflow-wrap: break-word) to both display paths so long tokens wrap within the container.

The rendered display in `EditableTextField` used `whitespace-pre-wrap` but no word-breaking, so a long unbroken string (e.g. a URL or token in an incident description) overflowed its container. The `<textarea>` soft-wraps by default, which is why the edit field looked fine but the rendered version did not.
Fix
Add
break-words(overflow-wrap: break-word) to both rendered display paths (labeled/multiline layout used by Description, and the default layout used by Title etc.) so long tokens wrap within the container. Normal text wrapping is unchanged.
