Screenshots or Video
Code
N/A
Use any flexibly content in any field group in the side bar.
Version Information:
- WordPress Version : 6.6.2
- PHP Version : N/A
- ACF Version : 8.5.0
- Browser : Latest Chrome
Additional context
This website uses the Classic Editor.
But the same issue will probably exist anywhere on small enough screens, regardless of the placement of the flexible content field.
Not enforcing heights and allowing flex containers to wrap already works better when the available space is limited.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by placing a flexible content field in a WordPress field group assigned to the sidebar, using the reported WordPress 6.6.2 and ACF 8.5.0 setup. Inspect the flexible content UI at narrow widths and compare its flex sizing and wrapping behavior. Done means the sidebar and other small-screen layouts no longer overflow or visually break.
