Ask HN: Is word-wrap by design in HN comments?

I just checked and there's a CSS rule on everything now (comments and main thread text) that causes this: `word-break: break-all;`

Disabling the rule makes wrapping behave as expected.

I don't know if it's new, but I haven't noticed this behavior before.

This is also happening to me in desktop Firefox. Only HN is affected. (textarea inputs -- on HN -- are also affected.)

I tried to submit an Ask HN too, but it seems to have gone to "new" instead of "ask".

Same on Safari on iOS. Rather annoying change that makes the comments hard to read. Same applies to the comment field itself by the way.

I am seeing it too on mobile FF. This is definitely new behavior.

Looks like it's been silently fixed; the rule is gone from https://news.ycombinator.com/news.css and a hard page reload will get rid of the behavior.
