The problem and links to previous solutions are in #2869. Changeset descriptions were made to use italics "to make them look more like quotes" but that doesn't work well with Chinese and maybe other writing systems and large blocks of italics don't look good. How else can the descriptions be rendered? I tried a few options:
How about font size then? Let's make the font slightly bigger.
However that may make another problem worse. The text is now more likely not to fit horizontally. You can't always force words to wrap, but then horizontal scrolling should work fine just for the overflowing descriptions. Except it won't work fine when stretched links are used, and they are used in changeset lists. In this case let's truncate the text while still letting it to wrap if possible.
