Flexible Height Gallery works only sometimes

I have a flexible gallery list and sometimes it displays correctly, but not always. This gallery is displaying text from a SQL table that comprises a list of questions. Sometimes the questions are fully displayed and sometimes they are not. The gallery items are controlled by which section (another gallery list) was selected. By clicking on the same section again and again, I can get the flexible height gallery to "refresh" which sometimes will cause it to display correctly and sometimes it will not, but this is not a good solution because it resets all items in the list and loses any work that has been done.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Anyone found a workable solution?

Can you tell us about the controls inside the flexible height gallery ?
Are you using an html control (with autoheight enabled) for both the title and subtitle ? or two labels ?

I am using two label controls with Auto Height enabled. I also have a radio button control which you can see in the screen shots, and a text control to the right of the RB that becomes visible if they choose "Training" in the RB. But in the screen shots, the only thing to the left of the RB control are the two labels.

I switched to using HTML controls instead of labels and that resolved the issue of it not resizing correctly and cutting off the text sometimes.

Thanks a lot @TML !

Using the HTML-Control has also solved another problem:

If i use a simple Filter for the Items Property of the Flexible Height Gallery erverything works fine.
But if i use SortByColumns, i run in exactly the same problem you have described here.

With the HTML Control everything works fine! 🙂
