character creator sometimes wraps the scenario + profession line bizarrely #86513

Describe the bug

while clicking through scenarios, i have sometimes noticed that the top line sometimes gets wrapped aggressively across multiple lines

clicking on a scenario with a shorter name than the currently selected seems to get things working right for that item (as if it's only resizing the fields or w/e AFTER it prints them)

this also happens with professions, just less dramatically

Attach save file

Steps to reproduce

  1. create world
  2. start character creation
  3. immediately select hunted forever before doing anything else

Expected behavior

i expect the top line to be printed only on the top line

Screenshots

Versions and configuration

this was experienced on a few different builds on linux ( found it while testing #86489 ), made sure it happened on master before creating issue (mod list not relevant, this is just the world i ended up using to produce the info report, my screenshots are all from a world with only default mods, i just can't generate a report from a world with no character in it)
