Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/web
Steps to reproduce
- Open a project in T3 Code and open Add Action.
- Enter a name for the action.
- Paste a command with a long path or argument into Command. For example, paste this as a single line:
ln -s "$HOME/Code/example-project/a-very-long-directory-name/another-long-directory-name/one-more-long-directory-name/src/config/Secrets.swift" "src/config/Secrets.swift"
- Inspect the dialog before saving or running the action.
I encountered this while adding a symlink command with a long file path, as shown in the screenshot.
Expected behavior
The command field and the rest of the form should stay within the dialog width, with all controls visible.
Soft word wrap in the command field could help keep long paths readable, provided it only changes the display and preserves the command text and intentional line breaks.
Actual behavior
A long command line makes the form content overflow horizontally. The right edges of the fields and helper text are clipped, controls on the right are pushed out of view, and a horizontal scrollbar appears across the bottom of the form.
This affects the layout of the whole Add Action form and makes it harder to review or configure the action.
Impact
Minor bug or occasional failure

Research direction
Start in apps/web by locating the Add Action dialog and reproduce the issue with the long command shown in the report. Adjust the command field and form layout so the dialog stays within its width without changing command text or intentional line breaks, then verify that controls remain visible and no horizontal scrollbar appears.
