Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a card and edit its description (card content)
  2. Paste in a long url, e.g. ### This is a [long url](https://mytestserver.test.mattermost.cloud/boards/workspace/g74xmh17m3n53ytarmro9d84cc/byfmcu5381fn3fp15ucbcfybs5w/vpitxu48zmjn59mnqttpeg3ndwh/cyds4jf6bsf8axg4u61hdpkxfco)
  3. It does not wrap

Expected behavior

Text should wrap in the content editor.

Edition and Platform

  • Edition: Mattermost Boards (plugin)
  • Version: v7.0.1
  • Browser and OS: Chrome on Mac

Additional context (optional)

If you commit the edit, then re-edit the content, the text wraps correctly, just not when it's first pasted in.

Research direction
Investigate the card description editor component, likely in the web app. Look for how pasted content is rendered initially versus after editing. Check CSS properties like 'overflow wrap' or 'word break' on the content area. The issue suggests that re editing triggers a re render that applies wrapping, so the initial paste may miss a style or state update.
