You can do a couple things here:
1) You can create a text box, and insert your "growing" field into it. Next,
insert the other field below it in the text box (by creating a new line by
pressing ENTER)

2) You can create a new section immediately below the "growing" field. Put
the other field in this section. When the "growing" field grows, it will
push the end of the section down with it, making it unable to overwrite
what's in another section.
