Comment:

 Attaching a patch with the one-line fix suggested by @cogdesign in
 comment:4.

 Root cause: [61645] converted `#major-publishing-actions` from float-based
 layout to `display: flex` with `justify-content: space-between`. The
 container
 is designed around two slots (Move to Trash on the left, Publish/Update on
 the right), so any plugin that injects a third item via
 `post_submitbox_misc_actions` or `post_submitbox_start` gets squeezed into
 the middle.

 The old float layout wrapped naturally when content overflowed, so this is
 a layout regression in 7.0 rather than a plugin bug. Adding `flex-wrap:
 wrap`
 restores wrap-on-overflow behavior while keeping the new flex alignment
 for
 the default two-button case.

 Verified the reproduction with both WP Rocket (per the report) and Yoast
 Duplicate Post (per @threadi in comment:5). With the patch applied, the
 injected button drops to its own line as it did in 6.9.4, and the default
 no-plugin layout is unchanged.

 Patch only touches the one rule — keeping the diff minimal for 7.0.1
 backport. Happy to follow up with a small `row-gap` for vertical spacing
 between wrapped rows in a separate ticket if that's preferred.
