Description

screenshot of problem

This long URL breaks in Chrome, both in the preview area and once saved. It doesn't break in the edit-window. (See screenshot)
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Wikimedia+Foundation+Inc.,+New+Montgomery+Street,+San+Francisco,+CA&hl=en&sll=37.7577,-122.4376&sspn=0.197332,0.41851&oq=wikimedi&t=m&z=16&iwloc=A

Possibly this is a browser problem, as making a long url without any characters-that-can-be-assumed-as-linebreaks (eg. a long string of "dddd...") will also break out of the edge in Firefox, eg https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Quiddity/sandbox&oldid=584480274

However, the ",+&=" characters in that googlemaps link should provide ample opportunity for linebreaks, so possibly it's a Flow/Parsoid/MW bug.

It busts out of the topic-title area in both Chromium and Firefox,

Within the post - in Firefox it gets wrapped correctly, but in Chromium it creates the overflow-horizontal-scrollbar. I'm not sure if this can be fixed.

This is a browser issue as far as I'm concerned. The way to fix it would probably be some CSS word breaking setting.
