Comment (by manhphucofficial):
I’m supportive of this fix.
Adding `word-break: normal !important` to screen-reader-only text is a
sensible safeguard, as inherited `break-word` can cause the letter-by-
letter announcements described above. The change looks low-risk, improves
consistency, and doesn’t alter visual output.
A follow-up to standardize the various visually-hidden patterns across
Core would also be helpful. Happy to help test any future refinements.
