This community is amazing so hopefully someone has the answer for me.
I have a section with a text box in it and that text box is dynamic so sometimes the article is short sometimes the article is long. The footer is the next section down but the footer keeps overlapping the text when the text is too long.
The section with the text in it has the following settings -

You'll see the footer is where it says created in editor x.
Hey @superfancast, that measurement in the inspector panel is for the textbox and not the text itself. Also, it seems you might have the section or container selected since normally, you can't edit the textbox height since it needs to be able to adjust to fit the height.
In regards to the text overlapping the footer, there's two possible fixes.
One would be to set the text to scale; this would allow the font size to change depending on the screen size to increase/decrease fluidly.
Since I see you have a dataset on the left-hand side of your screenshot, if this text is being pulled from the dataset, you can instead set the overflow content of the parent container of the textbox to scroll. That way instead of the text overlapping, it would be scrollable within it's parent container. It would look like this.
