I’m having an issue with the layout of my lovelace dashboard. You can see it in the image. Basically, when I first load the dashboard, it will often be squished into a tiny column.

Reloading the page does not help. I need to click over to another view and then click back.

I use Firefox as my default browser. I have uBlock Origin installed, but I’m not blocking anything on the Home Assistant page. When I’ve checked on Edge I don’t see this issue happening. I’ve never seen it on the companion app either.

Any suggestions on what to check?

Lovelace dashboard squished into since tiny column

    Did you modify the yaml before it started doing this? Kind of looks like perhaps an incorrect value on a column number or width line of the grid layout card.

    For example, I have the following at the top of my mobile dashboard to force one column and a certain width (though it’d probably default to this anyway).

    title: Mobile views:

    • title: Home type: custom:grid-layout layout: max_cols: 1 grid-template-columns: 350px’

      I haven’t modified the yaml. It was all set up in the UI.

      If I click away from this view and then back it will display everything correctly.

      Correctly displayed layout after clicking away and returning

      It’s a 1 column grid-card with nested horizontal-stack cards within it. If I have multiple grid cards, it will display the left-most grid correctly, and squish the others to the right until I click away and back.

      Left-most grid column shown correctly, but left-most column is squished.

      Thanks for replying. I haven’t seen anyone else with this issue, so I’m guessing it’s something to do with my specific layout. I’ll have to dig further to see if maybe I accidentally edited something…

        Interesting. Maybe try adding that grid-template-columns line and maybe it’ll force the width and get them to spread out? Only other thing would be try clearing browser cache if you haven’t already.

    I have the same problem!

    Switching the tab back and forth fixes it.

    Reproduces only on Firefox. Chrome renders OK in all scenarios.

      Hey there! Thanks for replying. Seems like it may be a Firefox issue then.

      I’m out of my depth in trying to trouble shoot a browser specific issue.

      Any suggestions on what to check? Maybe I should put this post somewhere more visible?

        Hey. I guess you could try searching and posting on the official Home Assistant forums. I haven’t yet tried to search and post there, but I got a notification to spend some time on this issue this weekend. Please keep me updated, if you can. I will too.
