Hi Hans Le Roy, thank you so much for your reply. Sadly this doesn't seem to have worked either, I've cut the options wordings right down but the form has still 'stretched' the five options out - in the image below there are still two more options hidden to the right:
I am sure this is a very recent change as it used to show all the options at once without the scrollbar. If there isn't an instant fix, I wonder if there are any Microsoft support channels I could use to ask them about this?

Hi, I am facing the same problem. Microsoft seems to have changed the screen design recently.I am considering the following solution. I hope it works.
1) Minimize the length of the options like 1,2,3, and 4.
2) Make an illustration that has full texts of the options.
I have made this example by capturing the screen of a Word file.
3) Upload it just above the texts on Forms.- Mindy_LeeFeb 14, 2024Copper Contributor
