Looks like a problem with [this topic](https://forumjogos.com.br/t/bailao-otaku/398), where part of a url results in an excerpt with a long unbroken line:  
`ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1793429561969193338|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=`

Discourse is not removing the url from the excerpt and there is no max-width on the column so the `word-wrap: break-word;` doesn’t apply.

You might be able to fix this by adding this CSS which seems to force the long line to break even without a max-width:

```plaintext
.topic-list .topic-excerpt span {
    overflow-wrap: anywhere;
}

```

(My theme component also has a `single line` setting which would avoid this issue)
