#7996: 404 Page Shows Unwanted Horizontal Scrollbar on Desktop

--------------------------------+-------------------------
 On desktop screens, the 404 error page is not displaying properly. A
 horizontal scrollbar appears at the bottom, indicating that some element
 is overflowing the viewport width. This breaks the clean layout and may
 indicate a CSS issue related to width, margin, or positioning.

 === Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Go to any invalid route to trigger the 404 page
 (https://wordpress.org/404/)
 2. On a desktop browser (e.g., 1920×1080 screen), observe the bottom of
 the page.
 3. Notice that a horizontal scroll bar is visible.

 === Expected Behavior
 The 404 page should fit entirely within the viewport width without causing
 horizontal scrolling on desktop. All content should be responsive and
 centered or aligned properly.

 === Environment
  - Device: Desktop
  - Browser: Chrome Version 137.0.7151.68
  - Screen Resolution: 1920×1080
  - OS: Windows 11

 === Screenshot
