The Size control sets the height and width of an element.
The size menu Style tab - Size 1

There are three types of size settings:

  • Unmodified: The height and width of the element under normal circumstances. This setting lets the content decide the element size. 
  • Min: The smallest width an element can shrink to, even if the content inside it or the surrounding layout suggests it should be smaller. Helps balance design with responsiveness. 
  • Max: The largest width an element can grow to, even if the screen or content allows it to be larger. Helps balance design with responsiveness.
  • Overflow: If the element’s contents are too large for the element, you can set the overflow to:
    • Visible: The contents are visible even though they are outside the element’s boundaries.
    • Hidden: Contents outside the element’s boundaries are hidden.
    • Auto: Contents outside the element’s boundaries can be seen by scrolling.
