need slds class to prevent field from expanding on lightning component

Hello.
My markup works ok on the desktop but when I test on mobile, the sitelookup field expands if I select an account with a long name. Then the screen becomes unusable (can't press the Save button or read the other fields. Is there an SLDS class to prevent a field from resizing to fit the selected name?

Update: I created another lightning component with just the sitelookup component with no sizing specified, and the field is not expanding automatically when I select an account with a long name on a mobile device. I am going to try recreating my original component without the lightning:layout and lightning:layoutitem.

I am going to use my code without the lightning:layout and lightning:layoutItem. lightning:layout and lightning:layoutItem made the form look nice on the desktop, since I could center it and it was a smaller form that didn't take up the entire width of the screen. Oh well, I don't know how else to do it.
