Responsive text boxes

Here are the same text boxes at 300px, the bullet pointed text boxes have overlapped the text box above, as well as the stroked text boxes below.

Ideally, the first paragraph would push down the bullet pointed boxes, and those would push down the stroked boxe, with the padding intact.

Is there a way to do this?

Could you please give us a demo .muse file (via Dropbox or something like that), so we can reproduce the issue and eventually report a bug?
