When clicking on tabs in the mobile view of a Tab section in Webflow, there may be an issue where the content within the tabs appears to be cut off or hidden. This issue occurs because the default behavior of tabs in Webflow is to use display:none property to hide the content of the inactive tabs, which can cause problems on mobile devices.

To fix this issue and ensure that the content of your tabs is fully visible on mobile, you can follow these steps:

Select the Tab element in Webflow.
Go to the Styles panel and scroll down to the "Tabs Menu" section.
Under the "Tabs Menu" section, you will find a field called "Menu Content". By default, Webflow sets this value to "Show on hover". This means that the content of the tabs will only be shown when you hover over them with a mouse.
Change the "Menu Content" field to "Always show" or "Show on click". This will ensure that the content of the tabs is always visible, even on mobile devices.
Preview and test your website on a mobile device to confirm that the issue has been resolved and the content of the tabs is now fully visible.

By making this change, you can ensure that the content within the tabs in a Tab section is fully visible and accessible on mobile devices. This will provide a better user experience and prevent any content from being hidden or cut off.

Additionally, if you want to further customize the appearance of the tabs or the behavior of the Tab section in Webflow, you can use custom code or Webflow's interactions feature to achieve the desired result.

Summary:
To fix the issue with the Tab section in Webflow when clicking on the tabs in mobile view, you need to change the "Menu Content" field of the Tab element to "Always show" or "Show on click" in the Styles panel. This will ensure that the content of the tabs is fully visible on mobile devices.
