Why is the third text element in my Webflow hero section cut off at the bottom of the div, even though I have checked all the settings to ensure the size of the div is not too small?
TL;DR
- Check the parent div's overflow setting and ensure it's not set to hidden.
- Review flex/grid configurations, ensuring items aren't clipped due to alignment, wrapping, or fixed sizing.
- Inspect the third text element for negative margins or improper positioning.
- Adjust line height to avoid vertical clipping of taller text.
- Test on all breakpoints to ensure responsive styles aren't hiding or clipping the content.
It sounds like the third text element is being visually clipped within the container, even though the parent div appears to have enough size. This is typically caused by a CSS overflow, positioning issue, or flex/grid behavior.
1. Check Overflow Settings
- Select the parent div of the text elements.
- In the Style panel, verify that Overflow is not set to Hidden.
- If it is, and the text exceeds the container’s bounds, it will be cut off. Change it to Visible as a test.
2. Verify Flex or Grid Settings
- If the parent uses Flexbox, make sure:
- Align Items is set appropriately (e.g., Start or Stretch, not Center if your items are taller than one line).
- Flex Wrap is enabled if multiple items might need to wrap.
- With Grid, check that:
- Rows and columns have Auto height or are set with enough room.
- The element isn’t being vertically clipped within a fixed row height.
3. Inspect Positioning and Margins
- Select the third text element.
- Check for negative margins at the bottom that might push content outside the container.
- Verify Position is not set to Absolute or Fixed without proper anchors. Misuse can cause text to overflow without resizing the parent.
4. Examine Font and Line Height
- If line height is too tight (e.g., line-height: 1), taller fonts or special characters might get clipped.
- Increase line height (e.g., set to 1.2–1.5) to give enough vertical space.
5. Mobile and Responsive View Checks
- In tablet or mobile views, check if the element is cut off due to smaller viewport heights or inherited styles.
- Ensure nothing is hidden with Display: None or overflow settings on smaller breakpoints.
Summary
Your third text element is likely being clipped by overflow: hidden, improper flex/grid settings, or tight line height. Review the parent’s overflow settings, check for positioning issues, and increase line height if necessary. Make sure to test in all breakpoints.
