Description
When the breadcrumb page title is too long to fit on the screen, the breadcrumb moves to the line below but, if it still doesn’t fit on the screen, it doesn’t compress any further.
It would be nice if really long breadcrumbs used ellipsis truncation in this case so we can be certain they won’t cause horizontal scrolling. Here’s an example of some long breadcrumbs overflowing and causing horizontal scrolling:
