3,089 PointsProblem with long text in one question shifting one section down.
Hello.
In the style.css tab I have 4 choice-buckets aligned evenly with width 25%. One of the questions is long and the last word moves to the line below as such:
Your future / profession?
The other 3 questions only take one line like this:
Where will you live?
I have a problem with the long question shifting all the answer boxes below downward, while the other ones stay the same. How can I make the other 3 also shift down?
This is my workspace (I hope I'm sharing this snapshot correctly. First time) https://w.trhou.se/0y1d1tyvqj
Thank you, David

6,964 PointsYou could accomplish this by setting a height and overflow on the headers in the CSS , like so:
h4 .highlight {
height: 20px;
overflow: visible;
}
The height makes it so that you can use the overflow element. By setting the height you also make it so that the elements will be consistently sized, preventing them from pushing the next element down in some cases but not others. Finally, by setting the overflow to visible you ensure that the text will show up regardless, but the element won't push down the text boxes. There is some danger in that, as the text could continue under the the text boxes. If you would prefer you can also set the overflow to hidden, which will cut off any text that goes outside the element.
