You should wrap your Container in a Flexible to let your Row know that it s ok for the Container to be narrower than its intrinsic width  Expanded will also work     Flexible    child  new Container      padding  new EdgeInsets only right  13 0       child  new Text         Text largeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee         overflow  TextOverflow ellipsis        style  new TextStyle          fontSize  13 0          fontFamily   Roboto           color  new Color 0xFF212121           fontWeight  FontWeight bold

If you simply place text as a child ren  of a column  this is the easiest way to have text automatically wrap  Assuming you don t have anything more complicated going on   In those cases  I would think you would create your container sized as you see fit and put another column inside and then your text   This seems to work nicely   Containers want to shrink to the size of its contents  and this seems to naturally conflict with wrapping  which requires more effort   Column    mainAxisSize  MainAxisSize min    children   lt Widget gt       Text  This long text will wrap very nicely if there isn t room beyond the column  s total width and if you have enough vertical space available to wrap into          style  TextStyle fontSize  16  color  primaryColor         textAlign  TextAlign center

One way to fix an overflow of a Text Widget within a row if for example a chat message can be one really long line  You can create a Container and a BoxConstraint with a maxWidth in it               Container                constraints  BoxConstraints maxWidth  200                   child  Text                     chatName    null         chatName                    style  TextStyle                        fontWeight  FontWeight w400                        color  Colors black87                        fontSize  17 0

I think the parent Container needs to be given a maxWidth of the proper size   It looks like the Text box will fill whatever space it is given above
