@Di2g10 I'm guessing this in Firefox? Looks okay in chrome.

Text wrapping on the web is one of those things which is way more complicated and non-standard than it should be.

Did you get anywhere with this one @Abijeet?
Just hoping for this to be in a release targeted for tomorrow. If not that's fine, I'd be happy to look at a solution, just didn't want to duplicate work if you've started on this.

Interestingly this appears to be fine when I test this in Firefox 64 on ubuntu.
The overflow-wrap: break-word; from the .page-content element takes action and breaks text as expected. Can't see any recent change in support for overflow-wrap either.

Maybe need to double check on windows just in-case it's different there.
Either way, Will need a bit more investigation. Moving out a release for investigation time.
