#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
