Possibly a bug in the build you have… can you share the project here so we can test it on the newer internal beta (due for release tomorrow).

You’ve stumbled upon an edge case here!

This works in Elements because the editor automatically applies `position: relative;` to the Container component. This is necessary for the editor UI to properly position itself around each component.

However, when you preview or publish the site, the Container does not have `position: relative;` by default. To fix this, simply set the **Layout → Position** control to **Relative**.

Hope that helps! 🙂
