For some reason, at width <= 480, it sets

    word-break: break-all
which sets the character-splitting to CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean), where splitting between characters is OK. This should generally not be used on English text.

Perhaps the author meant to use

    word-wrap: break-word
Which allows it to split a word that is too long to fit on a single line, instead of stretching/extending outside of the text area.
