The bug
When typing certain messages in chat, a string can sometimes get too close to the right edge of the chat background instead of being shown in a new line. This has been the case since 20w18a.
The bug is caused by the fix of MC-180138.
How to reproduce
Enter the following command in chat to show a long message:
/tellraw @s "Combat has never been this harder now - watch out for the Zombies as they now move faster and have the ability to infect you as well!"→ ❌ The "infect" string is too close to the right edge of the chat background.

The text does not overlap the background, but it is too close to the edge unlike in older versions.
Run the command in 1.15.2 or older with the default chat width, and it should show the following below in chat:
[media]If the command is run in 20w18a or newer with the same settings, then it would show the message below instead:
[media]This is definitely not the intended behavior before.
"Text" is only for en_us.json or other strings in-game.
How exactly is this an issue? The text doesn't overlap the background or anything? Seems reasonably close to me.
