Description
Description:
When entering long, unbroken text strings (without spaces) in dataset fields such as Description, Title, etc., the page layout wrappers break. This affects both the dataset page and collection page.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create or edit a dataset
Enter a very long description or title without any spaces.
Save and view the collection page).
Observe the layout/wrapper breaking, causing the page to mis-render.
Example:
Reproduced on internal: https://dataverse-internal.iq.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.70122/FK2/JRKIU8&version=DRAFT
Expected Behavior:
Long text without spaces should gracefully wrap or truncate, maintaining consistent page layout.
