How can I fix the persistent overflow issue on the right side phone asset on the "work - Abroad" page in Webflow?

TL;DR

A persistent overflow issue in Webflow is often caused by elements extending beyond their container. Here’s how to diagnose and fix it on your "Work - Abroad" page.

1. Check for Overflowing Elements

  • Enable the X-ray mode (W key in Webflow Designer) to see if any element extends beyond the viewport.
  • Inspect the Phone Asset and surrounding sections to see if any width settings exceed 100% or if elements have negative margins.

2. Adjust Width and Overflow Settings

  • Select the Phone Asset and check its Width settings. Try setting it to max-width: 100%.
  • Ensure the parent container is not set to overflow: visible. Set it to overflow: hidden if needed.

3. Fix Negative Margins and Unintended Scaling

  • Look at Flexbox/Grid settings—sometimes flex-grow or min-width values create unexpected overflows.
  • If custom CSS is applied, check for transform: scale() or translateX() values that move the element off the screen.

4. Test in Different Viewports

  • Switch to Webflow’s mobile view and inspect the asset’s behavior.
  • If it only happens on smaller screens, adjust relative positioning or flex settings.

5. Use Webflow’s Debug Tools

  • Open Preview Mode and resize the screen to check responsiveness.
  • Use Chrome DevTools (F12 → Elements tab → Inspect the container) to find misplaced width or positioning rules.

Summary

Ensure the Phone Asset and parent containers are constrained within the viewport. Use overflow: hidden, check flex/grid settings, and adjust max-width to prevent elements from breaking outside their container. Resize in Webflow’s preview and inspect using DevTools.
