I am busy with a project that uses angular-flex-layout. I have a list consisting of two columns where each column is a mat-list angular-material list consisting of a icon with text next to the icon. I added fxLayoutWrap="wrap" to the parent fxLayout row container but instead of wrapping to the next line when the max width (35%) of each column is reached angular-flex-layout or angular-material list appends a ... to the end of the text instead of it wrapping to the next line. Any idea how I can go about fixing this/what is happening here? The only way I can think of to fix this is adding a br tag in the middle of the text that doesn't fit? this seems like a bad solution as i'll always have to search for a good place to add the br text where it could/should just wrap to the next line.

                    <ul>
                        <li>we're using responsive css &amp; Angular(Angular-material &amp; Angular/flex) This allows us to show (or hide) things like the left menu and the number of columns displayed by dataTables.</li>
                        <li>The amount of "Custom" css we've used is actually very little, prefering rather to make use of the framework's built in features.</li>
                        <li>Angular reactive forms and validators should probably replace the generic php form.</li>
                        <li>No server side php is used.</li>

Sounds like you have text-overflow: ellipsis together with white-space: wrap on the container, probably on <mat-list-item>. You should be able to check this via chrome inspector. Find that element and reset the white-space property to normal.

Something like this could help, but you might need to improve the selector:

mat-list-item {
    white-space: normal;
}
