There are several potential causes for text not breaking into new lines properly in the mobile versions of websites built with Webflow. Here are a few things to check and troubleshoot for:

Insufficient word wrap: Ensure that the text elements have the proper CSS property called word-wrap: break-word. This property allows long words to be split and wrapped onto the next line.
Fixed width container: If the container holding the text has a fixed width set, it can prevent the text from breaking into new lines. To resolve this, either increase the width of the container or set it to width: auto to allow for responsive behavior.
Padding and margins: If there is excessive padding or margins around the text elements, it can cause the text to overflow and not break into new lines. Review the padding and margins around the text elements and reduce them if necessary.
Line height: An unusually large line height can also prevent text from breaking into new lines. Adjust the line height to a reasonable value that allows for proper line breaks.
Viewport settings: The viewport settings can impact how text is displayed on smaller screens. Make sure that the viewport is properly configured to ensure responsive behavior. In Webflow, you can check and update the viewport settings under Project Settings > SEO > Meta Tags.
Text length and font size: If the text is too long or the font size is too large, it may cause issues with text wrapping on smaller screens. Consider reducing the font size or breaking up the text into smaller sections if necessary.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with text not breaking into new lines in the mobile versions of your websites in Webflow.
