Description
The text is "ABCD" * 5
Some characters advance too far and not visible within the width of layout.
([code](https://github.com/EnderHane/randomrepo/tree/main/202407041310-00))
Is it a bug or a corner case not to be considered?

Research direction
Start with the linked reproduction code and compare its long-word wrapping behavior with the reported layout width. Trace the wrapping and glyph-positioning path that produces characters extending beyond the width, then confirm the fix with a regression case where the repeated word remains within the layout bounds.
