What's Wrong?

Description:
The chat message content is clipped on both the left and right edges of the viewport. Messages get truncated mid-word (e.g., "ort a problem" instead of "report a problem", "is at" instead of "this is at") unless I shrink the window down to its minimum size. This has persisted across the last 5 updates

App: Claude Code desktop (macOS)
OS: macOS 14.7.4 (23H420)

What Should Happen?

Expected: Chat content should fit within the visible window and wrap/scroll properly at any window size.

Actual: Content extends beyond the left and right viewport edges and gets visually clipped. Only fits when the window is at its minimum width.
