Navigation breaking down - fix ?

Hi guys,
I am wondering if theirs a fix for my navigation menu bar. What's happening is under 1200px the navigation drops down under main bar.
I have recorded a video clip of what I mean ;
Is their a way to have it so that instead of the navigation breaking down, the text just shrinks to fit ?
Not sure I am explaining myself well but, hopefully I have lol.
Hi there,
I think the best way would be to increase the mobile navigation break point so it switches to toggle before it breaks up:

Let me know if this helps.
Hey Leo,
Thank you, that worked well..I noticed before when I viewed via my laptop it was breaking so this fixes it nicely :)
One more question about the navigation bar..
I have a drop-down on one of the menu titles and was wondering if it's possible that when you click anywhere along that bar it could show the drop-down menu, as it is now theirs a small arrow that you have to hit pretty close too, to initiate the drop-down menu.
Included another video for clarity as I rarely explain anything perfectly lol.
The parent menu item needs to be a custom link:

Thank you Leo, will this now get indexed in google with the hashtag?
The URL of that parent menu now looks like http://www.mywebsite.com#
Hmm the parent item shouldn't have a link.
It's the HELP menu item on this site.
I followed the link you gave Leo,
I added a # in the parent item then saved, (still showing as just a # there).. my worry is when I click the parent item it's showing the hashtag like the example I gave above, this could be seen by google as another page and it could get indexed which isn't very good.
Not sure though if it's indexable.
Can you link me to the site in question?
I've sent a message via contact us with details Leo :)
Using Click - Menu Item would solve that issue:

Unfortunately you cannot set one for desktop and one for mobile.
Ok thanks, Leo, I think I'll just have to compromise and go without the hashtag and it be a little more tricky for users to click the arrow because I do believe they would be considered additional pages.
That worked perfectly for both Mobile and desktop :)
Thank you for the help and your time :)
No problem :)
