Hi everyone,

We’re rolling out a new breaking change regarding the text element. Historically, a text element made invisible has maintained its height, meaning that everything beneath it remains in place. Going forward, checking the box “Shrink the element height if the text gets shorter” in the property editor will cause it will work the way a collapsable group does–its height will go to zero when it becomes invisible. This seems to us to be a more logical default behavior.

As with all breaking changes, this new functionality is opt-in, available in Bubble v4. Newly created apps will implement this behavior as the default, but existing apps will have the option to upgrade.

Let me know if you have any questions.
