Aman-Mittal opened a new issue, #489:
URL: https://github.com/apache/fineract-backoffice-ui/issues/489
## What happens
At a phone viewport, the Create Client stepper lays its three steps out in a
single non-wrapping row that is wider than the space it is given. Step 3
renders past the right edge and is then clipped by an ancestor — so it is
neither visible nor reachable by scrolling. A user filling in the form has no
way to know a third step exists.
Measured at **368×691** on `/clients/create`, step 1 active:
```
<ol class="stepper"> scrollWidth: 442 clientWidth: 264
display: flex flex-wrap: nowrap overflow-x:
visible
step labels (viewport width 368):
"Client Type" left 88 right 165 visible
"Personal Details" left 225 right 333 visible, but clipped by the
card at ~332
"Contact Details" left 393 right 494 entirely outside the viewport
```

## Why it is clipped rather than scrollable
Walking the ancestor chain for `overflow-x`:
```
OL.stepper visible
APP-STEPPER visible
FORM.client-form visible
ION-CARD-CONTENT visible
ION-CARD hidden ← clips here
DIV.form-container visible
MAIN.content-area auto ← would have scrolled, but the card already
cut the content off
```
`MAIN.content-area` does allow horizontal scrolling, but `ion-card`'s
`overflow-x: hidden` clips the overflow before it ever reaches that scroll
container. The result is content that is neither shown nor scrollable to.
## Cause
`src/app/shared/components/stepper/stepper.component.ts` has no responsive
handling at all:
```css
.stepper { display: flex; ... } /* no flex-wrap */
.step-label { white-space: nowrap; ... }
```
```console
$ grep -c "@media" src/app/shared/components/stepper/stepper.component.ts
0
```
Not a single media query in the file. The layout is desktop-only by
construction, and `DOCS/MOBILE.md` makes clear that phone support is an
intended target rather than an edge case.
## Suggested fix
Give `.stepper` a mobile behaviour below a breakpoint. Any of these works:
- `flex-wrap: wrap` so the steps stack onto two rows;
- make the strip horizontally scrollable (`overflow-x: auto` on `.stepper`
**and** relaxing the `ion-card` clip) with a visible scroll affordance;
- a compact variant that shows numbered circles only, expanding the text
label for the active step.
The third degrades best — three small circles fit comfortably in 264px and
still communicate "3 steps, you are on 1".
## Environment
Reproduced against a clean checkout of `main` (`a24a06ba`) served with `ng
serve`, Chrome at 368×691 with mobile emulation and touch.
