    Hi Mitzi,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. When I cloned and tested your form, the same thing happened for me. After investigating it a bit, I found a solution. It’s really easy to fix. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Pencil icon beside the Paragraph element.

    2. Click on Source Code icon in the toolbar at the top.

    3. Now, change <pre> </pre> to <p> </p> inside the code.

    4. Then, click on Ok button below in the pop-up window.

    5. Finally, click on Save icon beside the element.

    That's it. Now, when you open the form from a mobile device, it will show the full paragraph correctly. You can check out the screenshot below to see my results:

    You can check out the Cloned form that I created. Also, you can Clone this form. If that’s not quite what you’re looking for, can you share a bit more info so I can help you better?

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
