The direct answer

A header can work on a large desktop and a phone while overflowing on a laptop. The breakpoint region deserves its own check.

What to check

Inspect widths just above and below menu collapse, plus common laptop sizes. Check long labels, logo width and call-to-action spacing.

What to do next

Adjust layout constraints or the collapse threshold based on observed fit. Avoid hiding important destinations solely to make one screenshot look clean.
