Description

Is it an issue related to Adaptive Cards?

No.

What is the PWD impact?

Users who rely on small screen devices or reflow/zoom mode, including users with low vision, may experience difficulty navigating the interface when a horizontal scrollbar appears at 320px viewport width. Horizontal scrolling increases cognitive and physical effort, makes content harder to read and interact with, and can prevent users from efficiently completing tasks, reducing overall accessibility and usability.

What browsers and screen readers do this issue affect?

Windows: Edge with Windows Narrator

Are there any code-based customization done to Web Chat?

No, I am using Web Chat without any customizations except "styleOptions".

What version of Web Chat are you using?

Latest production

Which area does this issue affect?

Others or unrelated

What is the public URL for the website?

No response

At 320px viewport width (Reflow mode), the interface should reflow correctly without displaying a horizontal scrollbar. All content should fit within the viewport and remain fully visible and usable without requiring horizontal scrolling, in accordance with accessibility guidelines
