When **category style** is set to **box** , the number of topics sometimes goes to a new line:

I believe it was caused by this fix (which was about [another issue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/box-style-category-background-color-overlapping-the-number-of-topics-in-the-category-selector/142521) also happening in boxed categories):  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/9034](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/9034)

It can be fixed by removing `flex-wrap: wrap` from `.category-status`.

I tried the other category styles with this modification and I didn’t see any issue, but since I don’t have a deep knowledge of Discourse styles, I don’t know if there would be any “hidden” collateral damage from removing this attribute.  
I guess there’s a reason (maybe an obsolete one?) for which `flex-wrap` has been set to `wrap` here? 🤷🏿‍♂️

Good point, anything we need to do here @awesomerobot?

This will prevent the count from wrapping, and also prevents the category name from causing the count to overflow on mobile
