Comment:

 I was able to reproduce the issue when using a very long unbroken string
 (100+ characters). In that case, the text overflows the Dashboard Activity
 widget and breaks the layout.

 However, with normal words (with spaces), the text wraps correctly and the
 issue does not occur.

 Requesting a 2nd opinion on whether this edge case with extremely long
 unbroken strings needs to be addressed, or if it is acceptable since
 normal content does not trigger the issue.
