Description

Usually, blocks stretch when text is put into them.
On Edge, after a point, the text starts to scroll in a little window. Also an X appears which you can click to clear the field. (This happens everywhere, not just in blocks)
It doesn't feel too broken, just different? The padding looks a little off.
Windows 10 Edge

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in Windows 10 Edge and compare the affected input fields with the usual block behavior. Then trace the frontend input styling and rendering used by blocks; done means text fields stretch consistently without the unexpected scrolling window, clear control, or padding difference.
