Description

Description

A horizontal stack will overflow out of its enclosing container if it cannot fit its contents instead of resizing them.

#set page(width: 4cm)
#stack(dir: ltr, [Hello], 5pt, lorem(10))

Research direction

Reproduce the horizontal stack example with a 4 cm page, then inspect the stack layout implementation and the behavior described in issue #2410's linked comment. Done means the stack's children resize to fit the enclosing container instead of overflowing it.
