Hi Guys,  
I have a Flex Container with multiple Label components.  
Even though I have the Shrink = 1 and Grow = 0, Resizing the container, does not shrink the labels when the container gets too small.

Are you claiming that it doesn’t shrink the Labels, or that it doesn’t shrink the _text_?

The following results were obtained with a Flex Container with `props.direction` set to “column”…

Room to spare:

`Label_0` has shrunk vertically due to a compressed space:

If you are instead referring to the displayed Label _text_, then you must modify other settings, as text does not change based on component size. Try looking into [Media Queries](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Style+Classes#StyleClasses-MediaQuerySettings).

Thanks.  
Yes, I am trying to shrink the Text. I will look at Media Queries.
