Have an issue with an element (text) correctly moving left to right on the X-axis on the desktop view using VW measurement, but on the tablet and mobile the animation doesn’t adhere and goes off screen causing an overflow thereby causing the screen-size to go wider and messing up the page layout.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi there!
Unwanted horizontal scrolling on mobile devices typically occurs when elements extend beyond the viewport width or when animations push content outside the screen boundaries. Here’s how to resolve this:
To prevent overflow, set your container elements to use percentage-based widths (like width: 100%) and add max-width properties. This ensures content stays within the viewport boundaries.
For animations that might cause scrolling issues, consider creating separate mobile-optimized versions using CSS media queries. You can either adjust the animation parameters or disable them completely for smaller screens using @media queries.
When working with viewport units, consider using small viewport units (svw), large viewport units (lvw), or dynamic viewport units (dvw) instead of regular vw units. These newer units handle mobile browser interfaces more effectively by accounting for dynamic elements like address bars. Before implementing these, verify browser compatibility for your target audience at Small, Large, and Dynamic viewport units | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc.
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.
