Repeater text elements keep changing position due to the long default placeholder text showing

How can I avoid the default text in repeater text elements connected to CMS content to mess up my page layout?

Product:
Wix Editor

What are you trying to achieve:
When creating dynamic page layouts for CMS items, the text elements I’m placing keep changing position when I reload the editor and the long default placeholder text is showing before the actual CMS content text is loaded in. So what is supposed to be a small text box for a 2-word text element that I neatly place in my overall page layout grows to an enormous height to display this default text for a split second and pushes all other elements on the page out of the way, destroying all my placement work. It’s so frustrating.

What have you already tried:

Additional information:

After saving and publishing my dynamic page, it looks correct on the live site, but whenever I then return to the editor to make a change, the placeholder texts load in for a second and then all text elements are thrown out of place:

Surely there is a simple fix for this…

I have the exact same issue, it is frustrating x 10000.
@Merlin_Bergmann Have you found a workaround?
At first I thought that behaviour would be fixed by removing the connection, hardcoding a short text, then reconnecting again. But this doesn’t work. That big placeholder text keeps coming back and flashing on my dynamic page when I switch to it. I have to fix it every day.

We need a solution to this please!

We could really do with an answer to this -it’s very frustrating
