Issue with width of section names in SharePoint pages

When creating a new SharePoint page or news item, there is an issue with the section name. I believe the section name only appears when you check "make this section collapsible".

Previously, the section name used to be a single line, like the below image:

However, now the section name is much narrower, and wraps around, like this:

It wasn't like this previously, only in the last few weeks I've noticed this annoying change. There isn't any way to change the width of this section, even if you add a flexible section type. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hello @Mirella,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.    Based on the information you provided, it appears that the issue occurs when enabling the “Make this section collapsible” feature on your SharePoint page. 

    To replicate your scenario, I created a new section using both Flexible and One Column layouts as shown in the screenshot below.

    After enabling “Make this section collapsible” and adding a heading, the behavior matched what you described in your thread.

    Could you please try publishing or republishing your page to check if the heading adjusts automatically based on the device you are using? 

    Thank you for your cooperation, and please let us know the outcome so we can assist further if needed.

    I do recognize the response, but I'd like to have the ability to set the section header to a single line. Currently, the section header takes up real estate unnecessarily. Is there a way to set it to a single line without having to make the section collapsable?
