Description
type some text and keep typing till it comes to the end of the line. Then if i select all text and change the paragraph style to 'Heading 1', the text expands and goes out of the box instead of going to the new line.
This error shows up in 18.0.1 and IE 9. Works fine in chrome.

The bug reproduced on your demo site

It seems that the above bug occurs only when we have a long word without a space in between. If we try to apply styles which expands the word(eg here Paragraph format 'Heading 1'), it expands. Chrome handles it correctly by breaking the word to the next line, but firefox and internet explorer doesnt.
This may appear trivial in web browsers, as one may think nobody is going to type such a long word, but when viewed from mobile, the responsive design may make the input box smaller, and thus the bug may occur with average length words also.
Hope you look into this matter. Awaiting a response.

- Yes, writing such log words is very uncommon.
- Browsers break words by default when there is e.g. white space between them.
- There is CSS3 property
word-wrap:brak-wordhttp://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_word-wrap.asp which seems to be supported in all major desktop browsers (including IE7 and IE8). I'm not sure however how mobile support for this property looks like.
Perhaps this rule could be added by editor to contenteditable element.

So is this going to be resolved in any future versions of CKEditor or I will have to do it myself? And if yes, where exactly should I be making the change? Maybe, I wont be upgrading it very soon

I have consulted this issue and here is what we have decided:
This is inline editing, something like plain HTML element (same rules apply) which, as explained here http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_word-wrap.asp, doesn't break words by default i.e. expands.
If one needs to support long words he needs to apply word wrap in page CSS. Thid is the correct solution.
