Fix · Pages, phones and Arabic

The page scrolls sideways on a phone

Blocks your work

What you may see

I can drag the page left and right
There is a white strip at the side

Most likely cause

One element is wider than the screen (a fixed width, an image, a long word, a table, or 100vw plus a scrollbar).

Check first (about two minutes)

In the browser console run a check for elements wider than the window (ask the AI for the snippet) or outline all elements.

The fix prompt

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

Prompt language

You are a senior front-end engineer who knows HTML, CSS, React, phones and Arabic right-to-left pages, and explains things to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
One element is wider than the screen (a fixed width, an image, a long word, a table, or 100vw plus a scrollbar).

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Find the exact element(s) wider than the viewport at 390 px using a small script in the browser.
2. Fix the cause on that element (max-width: 100%, min-width: 0 on grid/flex children, break long words, make tables scroll inside their own box, avoid 100vw).
3. Do not just hide overflow on the body unless that is the last step.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The page width equals the screen width at 390 px in English and Arabic (scrollWidth = clientWidth).
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not cut content with overflow: hidden to hide the problem.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

Do not do this

Do not shrink the font until it fits.
