This looks like a Wikidata issue

This looks like a great first task! However, there might be some complications arising from the fact that we are effectively changing the desktop view to support a seemingly mobile experience. So we should make sure to thoroughly test this manually. If this turns out to be more complex than envisioned, feel free to flag it up, and we will take it back to the drawing board.

After a bit of experimenting, I came up with these changes:

• To .wikibase-snakview-body, add min-width: 12em;
• To .wikibase-statementgroupview, add min-width: fit-content; padding-right: 2em;

Which generates this for a 500px width window:

It does cause the statement boxes to extend outside of the page container, and cause the edit icons to come out of alignment, but the only way around that would be to extend the entire page to the right, so I think this is preferable?

That looks great! Thank you so much. It looks like it also fixes the same issue the input field for the qualifier has:

[mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase@master] Prevent text box crushing by adding min-width and allowing boxes to extend beyond container edge.

I've added the proposed changes and dont see much of an improvement? Only when you're adding a new statement seems the be an improvement.

Some screengrabs:

This is still an issue btw. If I follow the gerrit link above there seems to have been a merge issue? Would be great if this was fixed.

@1Veertje i brought the patch back to life, but im also not very familiar with wikibase. i'll see if someone can help out.

Adding to our board for review (cc @Sarai-WMDE – maybe we can try to look at it together).

Hey there, task subscribers! @LucasWerkmeister and I just met with the intention of reviewing this report's patch. Although I'd swear I did in the past (this morning), we are no longer able to reproduce the issue, even after carefully following all the steps on desktop and mobile devices. Does the problem persist for anyone here? Thank you for letting us know!

PS: We'll look into what's causing the oversized "Lexicographical data" menu title 🤔

Moving out of our peer review column, since it’s unclear if the issue still happens at all. (I also haven’t been able to reproduce the giant “lexicographical data” menu heading on my end, FWIW.)

OK so this looks like it's happening for me still, and potentially worse:
