Just testing to see at what point the horizontal scroll bars appear. Please ignore this post.
"This is a string that is 80 characters long - well it will be at the lines end"
"This is a string that is 79 characters long - just needed to shorten it a bit"
"This is a string that is 78 characters long - this is getting a bit tiresome"
"This is a string that is 81 characters long - hmm, need to make it a bit longer"
"This is a string that is 82 characters long- OK this has gone on long enough now"
OK, it’s at 82 characters. But it seems like it happens earlier in some cases, will try to figure out why.

Don’t you just love horizontal scrolling?
When in the course of human events a quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, now is the time for horizontal scrollbars to come to the aid of our contrymen.

It depends on your default font. I have my browser set to use Fira Code so each of your line shows the scrolling bar
But then again, I also get great ligatures for things like => == === |> <| -> --> www *** </ /> << >> != !== and everything is a sane monospaced font
Funny those “each line” scrollbars show up when viewing this post on my iPad, but not on my computer. But I guess it does depend on the font/browser as to how long the line measures and how big the window size is - and hence the cutoff point.

It also depends on the browser. In Chrome on Android your 82 character line doesn’t need or show a scrollbar.

It depends on how your browser handles overflow-wrap CSS tag.
