There could be several reasons why the wrapping of the Column element appears wonky in the tablet and mobile-landscape views in Webflow. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:

Insufficient width or padding: Check if the width of the Column element or the padding around it is set too wide, causing the content to wrap inconsistently. Adjusting the width or padding values can help ensure proper wrapping.
Flexbox settings: Webflow uses Flexbox to control the layout of elements. Incorrect Flexbox settings can result in wonky wrapping. Make sure that the flex directions and wrap properties of the parent container and Column element are set appropriately for the desired layout.
Missing breakpoints: Webflow provides breakpoints that allow you to specify different styles for different screen sizes. If the wrapping issue is specific to certain screen sizes, check if the appropriate breakpoints have been added and adjusted accordingly.
Content length and size: If the content within the Column element is too long or wide, it can lead to irregular wrapping. Consider using text truncation or adjusting the size of any images or other elements within the Column to ensure they fit properly.
Custom CSS conflicts: If you've added custom CSS to your Webflow project, it's possible that it may be conflicting with Webflow's default styles. Inspect the styles applied to the Column element and its parent containers to ensure that there are no conflicting CSS rules causing the wonky wrapping.
Browser compatibility: Different browsers may interpret CSS rules slightly differently, which could affect how the wrapping appears on different devices. Test your website on various browsers and use browser-specific CSS or workarounds if necessary.

Remember to preview your website in the Webflow designer and use the responsive preview mode to test how the Column element wraps in different viewport sizes. Additionally, make sure to check for any JavaScript errors or conflicting interactions, as these can also impact the layout and wrapping behavior.
