How can I resolve the issue of copied Quick Stack elements overlapping on mobile in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Set the Quick Stack layout to vertical on mobile and ensure widths are responsive (100% or Auto).  
  • Remove or adjust overridden styles from copied elements and confirm proper overflow settings.

Copied Quick Stack elements may overlap on mobile if responsive settings aren't properly configured. Here's how to fix overlapping issues in Webflow's Quick Stack component.

​

1. Check for Manual Overrides

  • Select the Quick Stack element on the mobile breakpoint.
  • In the Style panel, look for any manually set widths, paddings, or gaps that may cause overflow or overlap.
  • Compare settings to the base breakpoint to identify changes made only on mobile.

​

2. Adjust Layout Direction

  • In smaller viewports, Quick Stack might need a different layout direction.
  • Select the Quick Stack and check if the Layout (Flexbox) is set to Horizontal (Row)—this can cause horizontal overflow and stacking issues.
  • Change the layout to Vertical (Column) on mobile to ensure elements stack properly.

​

3. Review Item Sizing

  • Select individual items inside the Quick Stack and ensure:
  • No fixed widths (like 400px) are applied on mobile.
  • Use percentages (e.g., 100%) or enable Auto width when needed.
  • Max width constraints aren’t limiting stacking behavior.

​

4. Reset or Clean Up Classes

  • If the Quick Stack was copied from another page, it may have inherited styles from previous uses.
  • Select the overlapping element and try using "Remove this style" (blue arrow in Style panel) to remove conflicting mobile settings.
  • Alternatively, subclass or create new combo classes to isolate mobile styles.

​

5. Use Overflow Settings Cautiously

  • Make sure Overflow on the Quick Stack container or its parent is not set to Visible.
  • For most responsive layouts, use Overflow: Hidden or Auto on the wrapper to avoid uncontrolled overlap.

​

6. Test on All Breakpoints

  • Examine behavior on Tablet, Mobile Landscape, and Mobile Portrait to see where the issue begins.
  • Use the Navigator panel to reorder or collapse elements as needed on smaller screens.

​

Summary

To resolve overlapping Quick Stack elements on mobile, ensure layout is set to vertical, widths are responsive, and overridden styles from copied elements are cleared or adjusted. Use the Style panel to fix layout properties specific to mobile breakpoints.
