fix(duo-chat): prevent code blocks from overflowing message bubble
What does this MR do?
Fixes a layout bug in Duo Chat where fenced code blocks containing long, unbroken lines (URLs, tokens, hashes, minified JS, etc.) would either wrap mid-character or push the chat bubble past the conversation container's width.
How to test locally with the overflow stress-test stories
Apply the patch
-
Save the patch block named
overflow-stress-stories.patchat the repo root. -
Check out this MR's branch:
git fetch origin aregnery/fixed-nested-code-snippet git checkout aregnery/fixed-nested-code-snippet -
Apply the patch:
git am overflow-stress-stories.patchOr, if you prefer not to create a commit:
git apply overflow-stress-stories.patch
Run the stories
yarn storybookThen in the Storybook sidebar, navigate to:
chat → duo-chat-message → overflow-stress (temporary)
Each story is wrapped in a fixed-width dashed-border container so the bubble's parent boundary is visible. The width arg is a Storybook control — try toggling between narrow (320px), medium (480px), and wide (720px).
