 confirm that you pulled latest trunk, had `npm run dev`, hard refresh
 before you discover this issue?

 Thank you for looking into this and taking the time to investigate. I
 appreciate your efforts in trying to reproduce the issue.

 yes—I’ve confirmed that I pulled the latest trunk, ran npm run dev, and
 did a hard refresh. The issue still persists on my end.

 I also double-checked with no plugins activated. The only difference
 remains the Chrome version (137 vs 136), but like you said, it seems
 unlikely that’s the cause. Still, the issue consistently appears for me on
 both frontend and backend when resizing to smaller screens.


 == Reproduction Report:

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
 - PHP: 8.2.4
 - Server: Apache/2.4.56 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.1.1t PHP/8.2.4 mod_perl/2.0.12
 Perl/v5.34.1
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 10.4.28-MariaDB / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.4)
 - Browser: Chrome 137.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.2
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.0

 === Steps to reproduce:
 1. Set a long dummy name like:
 {{{
 Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry
 Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry
 Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry
 Lorem Ipsum
 }}}
 2. **Ensure no plugins are active**
 3. View the site on frontend and backend
 4. Resize to a smaller screen

 === Additional Observation
 After reproducing the issue, I activated the Test Report plugin (for
 debugging purposes). Once this plugin was active, the admin info box
 layout broke even on the 1920px screen in the backend view—without needing
 to resize. This suggests the layout is fragile under certain content
 lengths or plugin output conditions.
