What?
Fixes #50059
This PR ensures that long unbroken text (like URLs or long words) inside .is-layout-flex row layout blocks does not cause horizontal overflow on narrow viewports. It adds consistent text-wrapping behavior to match what is already applied to column layouts.
Why?
Currently, if a row layout block contains children with unbroken content (like long links or words), it can cause horizontal overflow, breaking the responsive layout. Column layout blocks already prevent this using overflow-wrap: break-word and word-break: break-word, but row layout blocks lack this protection. This update aligns both layout types to handle long content gracefully.
How?
This CSS rule, targets direct children of row layout flex containers, ensuring that long words or unbroken strings wrap within their container boundaries and don’t overflow.
Testing Instructions
Open a post or page in the block editor.
Insert a Group block and set its layout to "Row".
Add a Paragraph block inside the Group.
Paste in a long unbroken string (e.g., a long URL or continuous text with no spaces).
Resize the browser or preview on a narrow viewport.
Observe whether the text wraps correctly without overflowing the container.
