Why does Quick stack in Webflow behave strangely on small mobile sizes, cutting the text instead of placing it on a new line as responsive design should do? Additionally, why does the cell not expand fully on mobile landscape and appear unusually small?

Quick Stack in Webflow may behave unexpectedly on small mobile sizes if its content isn't wrapping correctly or if its container settings restrict its growth. Here’s why this happens and how to fix it:

1. Text Cutting Instead of Wrapping

• Quick Stacks use fixed internal layouts, often resembling flexible grid or flexbox behavior. If the inner text doesn’t wrap but gets cut off, it’s likely because:

• Width or min-width is restricted either on the Quick Stack or its child elements.

• No wrapping behavior is enabled. Certain text blocks or inline elements may have white-space: nowrap applied either by default or inherited.

• Fix it by:

• Selecting the child text element, go to the Style Panel, and ensure:

  • Width is set to auto or 100%, not a fixed px value.
  • White-space is set to normal (in Typography settings, check that it's not forced to nowrap).

• Verify that the Quick Stack’s container is set to auto width/height and not fixed.

2. Cells Not Expanding Fully on Mobile Landscape

• On mobile landscape, Quick Stack cells may appear small if:

• The maximum width of the container is limited, perhaps via px or % values.

• There are padding/margin rules that collapse the available content area.

• Or the direction (row/column) structure doesn’t adjust with breakpoints.

• Fix it by:

• Inspecting Quick Stack settings at Mobile Landscape breakpoint.

  • Ensure the layout direction is appropriate—stack vertically (column) instead of trying to fit side-by-side (row) on limited width.

• Check if the Quick Stack or parent div has a fixed width/max-width; change to 100% or auto.

• Ensure padding or margin is not creating excessive dead space or overflow issues.

3. Check for Overridden Styles or Breakpoint Conflicts

• Sometimes styles applied in the Desktop or Tablet breakpoints are inherited without adjustment in Mobile Landscape.

• Use the Navigator and Style panel to check each element’s settings on every breakpoint.

• Recommended:

• Within Designer, select Mobile Landscape breakpoint view.

• Manually review the Quick Stack container and each child element’s layout properties.

• Use the overflow property (visible/hidden/scroll/auto) carefully, particularly on smaller viewports.

Summary

Quick Stack issues on mobile usually stem from fixed widths, nowrap settings, or improper responsive behavior settings at lower breakpoints. Always check and adjust text wrapping, container widths, and flex direction for mobile views to ensure a smooth, responsive layout.
