Issue does not occur in 1.2 Buri build, the error message is different.

This is a fallout from the offline error UI rewrite.

This is bug is particularly bad because this means it's easy for a user to not see the origin of a request that failed to connect. That means a user can be tricked into thinking that the origin is something else than what is actually is, as the origin is truncated in the message (i.e. spoofing).

Asking for UX to weigh in on what to do here.

Note - accounts.google.com is only an example of this bug. I'd expect this to happen with origins with greater than 25 characters included with any type of app error message. We really should ensuring that the user knows exactly what location failed to connect.

the text is being wrapped on the body. SO wouldn't block on the same.

That actually this invalid then - I missed the fact the screenshot isn't truncating the text. You won't ever be able to get that a single line anyways, as URLs are traditionally longer.
