Bug or misunderstanding? Text element on mobile only showing partial text

Ask us anything
1

I have a text element within a collection item that, if left untouched while in mobile view (editor and preview), is only showing 2 lines of text, of 9 total.

When I double-click the text in a collection item to edit it, it expands to show the full paragraph and stays that way (desired display) - text elements in other collection items are unaffected.

This extends into the preview mode as well. For text elements I have double-clicked on in the editor to get them to expand, they show correctly. For those that I haven’t, they only show the two lines.

The height of the div the text box is sitting in is set to auto. And when I double click to get the text to show, the div height properly expands with it.

I thought it might be an “overflow” setting thing, so tried setting that to “Visible” but it didn’t change anything.

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding a feature of some sort here? Currently I’m having to go through each collection item and double-clicking the text element to get it to show the full text properly.

Do you have any height specified on this element or its parents?

Turns out it was indeed user error :slight_smile:

While the immediate parent div did not have a height specified, it was sitting within a container that had a height ratio (incorrectly) defined that was impacting my text.

Thanks for checking in, @aurelie
