Hey @VisitsFromTheIsnt! Do you happen to have your browser zoomed in a bit? I checked it on my end on Chrome and everything looks fine, but when I started to zoom in via the browser settings, the text did indeed start to wrap.

Let us know! You can ping mods if you are still having trouble in your reply.
