That label is so long it’s breaking the HN front page layout for me on mobile.
- alex_young 7y agoSame here. I notice it's truncated in the comment dialog, why not also the main page?
- mrb 7y agoHN should add the CSS rule "word-wrap:break-word". In fact this rule should almost always be the default for text that might contain excessively long words (such as user-submitted text on forums).

- Tomte 7y agoI like that better than the American way of inventing stupid names, so that the acronym is "cute".
- anewhnaccount2 7y agoYou should use ­ or <wbr> between word­parts for 100% pedantically correct word breaking.
- cbsks 7y agoYup. @dang, can you fix this?
- scarcelycoher 7y agoDon't order him about. You are not his boss.
- dang 7y agoIn principle yes, but I tried in 4 (edit: 5) browsers and couldn't reproduce the problem, and it's late here and I'm running out of steam. So you may have to suffer overnight. Sorry about that. Edit: ok, thanks to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_character_property#Whitespace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_character_property#Whi... I put in a bunch of ​. I hope that fixes it because I need to sign off now. If it isn't fixed, it would be helpful if someone would email hn@ycombinator.com so we see that in the morning. Short term memory does not survive the firehose.
- cbsks 7y agoThanks, it’s not a huge issue! I’m able to see the issue with safari on my iPhone, FYI.
- lstamour 7y agoHappened for me on iOS 13 if it helps. Font stays the normal size but you have to scroll right. If you zoom out, it’s a bit harder to read but not bad.
- babak_ap 7y agoFirefox and Firefox Focus on Android present the same issue.
- buu700 7y agoIt's reproducible for me when viewing the home page in Chrome 75 on Android 9 (Pixel 2 XL).

- cortesoft 7y agoI was wondering what was going on!
- komali2 7y agoThat's why it's broken! Was so confused

- smadge 7y agoSo that explains it!
- dang 7y agoI've attempted to fix it. Details at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20352144 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20352144.
- sjcsjc 7y agoThanks. That fixed it for me (chrome on Android)
- Redoubts 7y agoAlso broke hckrnews.com on mobile. I was wondering what was going on there.
