Mobile Responsive Design Broken After Refactoring

Your application's mobile responsive design stopped working correctly after Cursor refactored the layout components. Mobile views are broken, showing desktop layout at small screen sizes.

Media queries or viewport configuration may have been removed.

Error Messages You Might See

Layout broken on mobile Content overflow on small screens Buttons unclickable on mobile Text too small on mobile
Layout broken on mobileContent overflow on small screensButtons unclickable on mobileText too small on mobile

Common Causes

  1. Viewport meta tag removed or modified in HTML head
  2. Media queries removed during CSS cleanup
  3. Flexbox/Grid responsive properties changed to fixed sizes
  4. Mobile-first approach replaced with desktop-first without adapting
  5. CSS file load order changed, overriding responsive rules

How to Fix It

Ensure viewport meta tag: <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1'>. Use mobile-first media queries: @media (min-width: 768px) { }. Test with DevTools device emulation (Ctrl+Shift+M). Use flexbox or CSS Grid for responsive layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's mobile-first design?

Write CSS for mobile (small screens) first, then add @media (min-width) for larger screens. Simpler and performs better.

How do I test responsive?

Use DevTools (Ctrl+Shift+M). Test actual devices. Use services like BrowserStack for multiple devices.
