Still an issue in latest Android release 2025.4.0. It appears the "&" symbol is at least in part causing the line breaks anytime there's one of those symbols in the password the line breaks at it and the password resumes on the next line. This is not the only character there is also some strange behavior with the "%" and "#" symbols. If I turn off special characters in the password is works fine the lines break where you would expect.

The issue still exists in Version 2025.5.0 (20269). I can confirm what @vinnyperella mentioned: the linebreaks only seem to appear when special characters are enabled. When they are turned off, everything looks fine.

@rmcdowell-bitwarden, are there any updates on this?
As @vinnyperella and @Jan-Koll mentioned, this issue only appears when special characters are enabled.
Although users usually don't generate passwords longer than one line, this issue can be annoying when items jump up and down because the line-breaking behaviour is constantly changing, making it more difficult to interact with the slider.

I've tried several things, but I can't figure out what's causing this issue.
shouldAddCustomLineBreaks might not be working as expected because the bug persists when it's set to false. Everything works normally when only letters and numbers are enabled.
