Problem
I'm having a problem with flex boxes. It is wrapping the content like it should, however any items that overflow the parent container are truncated. See the image below:
Here's the HTML of the entire page:

And here is the relevant CSS:
/* Flex boxes */
.flex-box-row {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: flex-start;
overflow-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}
.flex-box-row>*{
flex: 0 0 auto;
}
span.text-control {
font-size: 14pt;
font-weight: bold;
cursor: pointer;
}
Here are some other screenshots that shows the results of other solutions that I have tried:
In this one, the zero is truncated from the beginning.
Here part of the beginning and ending text is cut off.
NOTE: overflow-wrap and overflow CSS attributes have no effect. I've tried it both ways.
NOTE: Since there are a series of SPAN elements as the flex child, I tried adding min-width: 0; as suggested by some of the linked questions but it does not work.
NOTE: This is related to another question here about partitioning large database tables into smaller pieces. That is located here: Splitting up large data sets into smaller pieces for web viewing Needless to say, I have solved that problem.
Basically, anything that is outside the parent container in those two boxes is not displayed (you can't even click on them), but then content displays normally on the next line. As shown in the image with the flexbox highlighted, it extends past the container. I need to constrain that.
Also Bootstrap 3 is being loaded, but is not being used for the flexbox.
Research
I have done a lot of research into this over the past two days and here's what I have found:
Prevent flex items from overflowing a container
Flexbox item multiline text overflow
Truncated text in nested flexbox items
Centering Items with Flexbox and Overflow
Flexbox items with block content overflow the flexbox container
https://codepen.io/ScottWhittaker/pen/apKqpK
https://css-tricks.com/flexbox-truncated-text/
And many more....
Things that I have tried
I have tried multiple solutions with varying results. However, the main issue of truncating the items is still there no matter what solution that I have tried.
EDIT: 06/05/2021 2230 PDT
As people have pointed out about mixing inline and stylesheets, I'm working on that right now. However, the big issue here is that SOME mixing between stylesheets and inline styles cannot be avoided. The primary reason are theme colors (kinda hard to have many themes with stylesheets) and computed sizes such as the image-border stuff. Also some of the font things with the title headers must also be specified inline because JSON from the server can specify it. Everything inside the DIV with id="main" is generated on the client with JavaScript that interprets JSON from the server. Everything else is a template page that's generated by PHP on the server. Furthermore, when I try to do a minimal code set to reproduce the problem, I can't. That tells me that it's a stylesheet causing the problem, but I'm not sure which one. Bootstrap 3 is being loaded and used throughout the page. I wonder if it's a Bootstrap problem or a problem with one of my stylesheets. I will continue to try to build a minimal example to reproduce the problem though. As for all the external links pointing to localhost, I'm working on that as well.
