[Andrey Fedoseev <mp+424302@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We already have text wrapping there, which causes the long lines to wrap without using horizontal scrollbars.

Be default, it breaks the lines at word delimiters (whitespace, dash, etc.). By having `overflow-wrap: break-word;` we allow wrapping by breaking longs words, which is the case in your example.

You can find some information on disadvantages of the horizontal scrollbars here: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/horizontal-scrolling/

In general, they offer bad user experience.
