 > I am suggesting we close this ticket as wontfix.

 To //suggest// closing a ticket, you can use the 'close' keyword.

 The overflow occurs with multiple widgets:
 - Text
 - Custom HTML
 - RSS
 - Block (if you created your site since WordPress 5.8, want to keep any of
 the default widget blocks, and need to manage at least one widget with the
 Classic Widgets interface)

 I have noticed wider Text and/or Custom HTML widgets before today on a
 desktop screen, where the extra width and negative margin do not usually
 cause a problem when they overflow the column.

 On small screens, and at the zoom equivalent, the side of the widget can
 go off the screen.

 I think this bug is serious enough to consider fixing now, though people
 have worked with the widgets this way for more than a decade.
