Prevent Flutter WebView from Overflowing a Horizontally Scrolling Carousel?

Issue

I am using using the Perspectives Pageview library in Flutter to implement a horizontal carousel. Everything works fine when I am just rendering regular Containers with images or text, etc.

However, when I embed a WebView, it overflows beyond its parent Container, and resizes upon moving the Widget around:

I am unsure of what causes this and how I may fix it so that it stays inside the parent, like other elements.

My code:

Container(
      child: Center(
        // Adding Child Widget of Perspective PageView
        child: PerspectivePageView(
          hasShadow: true, // Enable-Disable Shadow
          shadowColor: Colors.black12,
          children: <Widget>[
            Container(
                child: Column(
                  children: [
                    Expanded(
                      child: Container(
                        color: Colors.black54,
                        child: Container(
                            color: Colors.white,
                            child: Column(
                              children: [
                                Expanded(
                                  child: WebViewPlus(
                                    onWebViewCreated: (controller) {
                                      this._controller = controller;
                                      controller
                                          .loadString(_htmlForCardsList[0]);
                                    },
                                    javascriptMode: JavascriptMode.unrestricted,
                                  ),
                                )
                              ],
                            )),
                        padding: EdgeInsets.all(2),
                      ),
                    ),
                    Container(
                      child: Row(
                        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                        children: [
                          Text(
                            "View Next",
                            style: TextStyle(
                                fontSize: 24.0,
                                fontWeight: FontWeight.w400,
                                color: Colors.orange),
                          ),
                        ],
                      ),
                      height: 60,
                      decoration: BoxDecoration(
                        color: Colors.white,
                        border: Border(
                          top: BorderSide(color: Colors.black54, width: .3),
                          bottom: BorderSide(color: Colors.black54, width: 1.5),
                          left: BorderSide(color: Colors.black54, width: 1.5),
                          right: BorderSide(color: Colors.black54, width: 1.5),
                        ),
                      ),
                    ),
                  ],
                ),
                color: Colors.orange)])))

I have also tried replacing the Expanded parent of the WebView with

Container(
          width: 300,
          height: 200,
          child: WebViewPlus(
          ...

and I encounter the same issue. Upon horizontally scrolling the carousel, the WebView size changes, unlike other content contained within the Carousel.

Many thanks for any insight.

          ),
        ),
        onWebViewCreated:
            (InAppWebViewController controller) {
          webView = controller;
          print("onWebViewCreated");
