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
