Description
On the Manage Users page, in the dashboard for superusers of Dataverse repositories, account emails past a certain number of characters are hard to read.
I see this on repositories running v5.6.
Thinking about how this reduces the usefulness of this page for superusers:
- Selecting all of the text to copy it by dragging a cursor across the text becomes difficult, but you can still triple click to select the whole email address.
- And to confirm account details or differentiate accounts that are similar in other ways (e.g. same name or affiliation), the first 30 or so easy to see characters are probably all that's needed.
The text in other columns on the table seem to wrap, but not text in the "Email" column.

Research direction
Start at the Manage Users page and inspect the table's Email column styling, comparing it with the wrapping behavior of other columns. The issue is done when long email addresses are readable, selectable, and wrap or otherwise display enough text to distinguish accounts.
