I converted my page to use the Responsive editor and now the text in the repeating group is wrapping. Before the text did not wrap. I tried the backup page and it works just fine. This is what it looks like and what my layout settings are

This is the textbox layout settings

There is no place to set max height. In fact, setting the height to 10 which cuts off the text in design mode still show all the text.

Your issue is that you are using a parent container fixed type. Change this to ? row probably ? After you should have an option to fit height or you can play with overflow option

Thank you, that did the trick. I want the text to wrap but I was wondering how I would implement and elipses and not have it wrap.

For elipsis, the text element itself need to have fixed-height . The parent group however can stay row
