Dashboard layout squished into very small column

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.
