Describe the bug
With Word Wrap enabled, svg-exported text outside the shape is truncated at shape width, unlike preview in-editor.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make a shape
2. Set text location to "right" (I haven't tested other external text options)
3. Write some text for the shape that is longer than the shape is wide
4. Leave word wrap enabled
5. Export to svg
6. Text is truncated.
   Expected behavior
   A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

👋 Thank you for opening this issue!

Summary: When a shape's label is positioned outside the shape (e.g., to the right) and word wrap is enabled, exporting to SVG truncates the text to the shape's width, even though the in-editor preview displays the text correctly. Disabling word wrap is a workaround but not ideal.

📝 Additional Information Needed

To help us investigate this more effectively, could you please provide:

• Can you attach the .drawio XML file so developers can reproduce this exactly?
• Does this issue also occur when exporting to PNG or PDF, or is it specific to SVG export?
• Does this happen with other external label positions (e.g., top, bottom, left) or only 'right'?
• Does the issue occur in the web version of draw.io (app.diagrams.net) as well, or only in the desktop app?

What viewer did you use? Is the label also truncated if you view the file in a browser?

I had tried both the overleaf svg library and inkscape when submitting the report. It looks like it renders properly on firefox, having tried it now.
