            string: 'This is my super text and it is too long for the mobile screen width',
          ),

Solution

Use an Expanded widget around the RichText inside the Row

Thanks for opening this bug.

I see what you are saying. But it's going to be tricky to have an Expanded widget around RichText, and the reason is it will push the BlinkingCusrsor towards the right end, which is not ideal. I'm looking for solutions to have this fixed.

Maybe just with a Flexible instead of an Expanded ?

Isn't that going to keep the Blinking Cursor to the right end after the text reaches the next line?
