     ### Bug Fixes
+    -   Media & Text: Replace deprecated `word-break: break-word` and prevent long content from widening the text column. Nested blocks that only override `word-break` can now wrap long unbroken text mid-word ([#82580](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/82580)).
     -   Accordion Heading: Anchor notes to the selected title text instead of the whole block ([#84497](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/84497)).
     ## 11.2.0 (2026-10-07)
