How to reproduce the issue?

Prerequisite:

  1. Install stylus in browser and pin it in your extensions (note, same link can be used to install in edge too): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne.
  2. Once added, click on it (Alt +arrow keys) and tab till manage and press enter.
  3. In the new window that opens, under Actions, press Enter on Write new styles. Code area will open.
  4. Paste the following code in that area:
  • {
    line-height: 1.5 !important;
    letter-spacing: 0.12em !important;
    word-spacing: 0.16em !important;
    }
    p {
    margin-bottom: 2em !important;
    }
  1. Give it a name. Example: text spacing. Uncheck the Enabled checkbox.
  2. Hit save.
  3. To use it, you can activate the stylus plugin on the page you want to test and check the ‘Text spacing’ (if that is the name you used while creating) checkbox.

Repro Steps:

  1. Open URL: https://compulim.github.io/webchat-loader/ and sign in using valid credentials.
  2. Navigate to web chat page and select 4.18.1-main.20240927.ea7a875 (30/9/2024) version and then select mockBot link under present label and then select open web chat in new window link at bottom.3.Navigate to white label experience chat page and type Herocard long title word in type your message text box.
    4.Apply Text Spacing.
    5.Observe that after applying text spacing herocard title is getting truncated.
What do you expect?

After applying text spacing, the title should remain fully visible without truncation, ensuring all content is readable and accessible.

What actually happened?

After applying text spacing, title "This is a HeroCard with a really, really long title that is int" is getting truncated.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue at the webchat-loader URL using the listed 4.18.1-main version, mockBot, white label experience, and the provided Stylus text-spacing rules. Inspect the HeroCard title rendering and its layout constraints; done means the full long title remains visible after text spacing is applied.
