4$\begingroup$ This seems a bit similar to this bug report: Long display style formulae extend too much to the right with some renderers. However, that post explicitly says that it only influences Common HTML, while in this case I see the same problem as you for HTML-CSS. It is certainly non-standard that the OP typed the whole text in MathJax (even the non-math parts). But probably similar bug can manifest even for some legitimate uses of MathJax. $\endgroup$– Martin SleziakFeb 21, 2022 at 20:16

While $\rm\LaTeX$ (and, well, $\rm\TeX$) is a typesetting system, MathJax is a mathematics rendering system.
One should not use MathJax for typesetting text in browsers, especially on StackExchange. (It is arguably doable if you have a static webpage, but even then you really shouldn't.)
