What could be causing the issue with the "Auto" height not working for the pull down menu in Webflow's mobile portrait break point, when it works for every other break point?

There could be a few possible reasons why the "Auto" height is not working specifically for the pull-down menu in Webflow's mobile portrait breakpoint. Here are some potential causes and solutions:

  1. Element structure: Check the structure of your pull-down menu. Make sure that it is nested properly within its parent container or wrapper, and that there are no conflicting styles that could be affecting the height. Double-check that there are no additional height or padding settings interfering with the "Auto" height.

  2. Overflow settings: For the pull-down menu container or any parent elements, ensure that the overflow property is not set to "hidden" or "scroll." These settings can restrict the element's height and potentially cause issues with the "Auto" height. Instead, set the overflow property to "visible" to allow the content inside the pull-down menu to determine its own height.

  3. Interaction or animation: Check if there are any interactions or animations applied to the pull-down menu or its parent elements. Sometimes, animations or interactions can interfere with the height calculations, preventing the "Auto" height from working as expected. Try temporarily disabling any interactions or animations to see if that resolves the issue.

  4. Custom code or CSS: If you have applied any custom code or CSS styles to the pull-down menu or its parent elements, review them to see if there are any conflicting height-related settings. Check for height values set in pixels or other units that could be overriding the "Auto" height. Try temporarily removing or commenting out any custom code to see if it makes a difference.

  5. Breakpoint-specific styling: Verify if there are any breakpoint-specific styles applied to the pull-down menu in the mobile portrait breakpoint. It's possible that there are conflicting height or padding settings specifically for this breakpoint. Make sure to check the Styles panel specifically for the mobile portrait breakpoint and adjust any conflicting styles accordingly.

By troubleshooting these possible causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the "Auto" height not working for the pull-down menu specifically in the mobile portrait breakpoint in Webflow.
