Description

When using a language other than English, the fixed widths in the stat screen for an equipment piece can cause wrapping in the middle of words:

Wahrnehmung line break

The fix could be that the boxes within the screen and the screen itself expand themselves to be big enough to contain whatever is in them, or they are given a fixed size that is certain to be large enough for all possible translations of the names of the stats.

Research direction
Inspect the stat screen component's CSS (likely in Habitica's client code) to identify fixed width classes or container constraints. Use browser developer tools to replicate the issue with a different language. The suggested fix is to replace fixed widths with flexible layouts (e.g., CSS flexbox or min width) or to determine a maximum size that fits all translations. Check if there are any existing CSS variables or theming files that control layout.
