Very long metadata values break the table layout #11824

Description

@stevenferey

When a metadata field contains a very long value (e.g., a URL with many parameters or a string without spaces), the HTML table layout breaks because the value is treated as a single unbreakable word.

Example available here
Some metadata cells display long values that do not wrap properly and break the layout.

Expected behavior

Long values should display correctly without breaking the layout.
They should wrap across multiple lines within the cell width.

Suggested fix

Apply a generic CSS rule to metadata cells, for example:

table.metadata {
  word-break: normal;
  overflow-wrap: anywhere;
}

This ensures that long values (URLs, space-free strings, etc.) wrap properly and do not break the layout.
