not sure if this is me or a bug, moved from float to columns (definitely did not use columns in Rapidweaver or tried in tailwind), a lot of different options on the tailwind site. So if I remove the image from the drop zone and replace with text no issue, just issue in Elements viewing, in safari no issue, still working through tailwind columns and options

Thanks, although this is a tricky one. There’s certainly limitations in the Editor, and things we’ve never thought of, it feels like you might be bumping against the edges…

We’ll dig into this a little and see if there’s anything we can do here.

It works fine if I just add one dropzone, which was all I was aiming for, just thought I would try another dropzone, you can add 2 columns and it works in safari as well, so it does work for me

@dan works great now, see added styling, I can even drop in an image and no issues, not tried a video yet, at the start of each typography, **except when I add a container see recording** , if I drop in container it kind of works, container restricts width this may be me

here is the Elements file, still practicing, trying different things

Yes, it’s really awesome, it seems like you’re really getting the magic of Elements now.

Keep up the good work, it’s nice to see you pushing what Elements can do and showing others how powerful this stuff is ☺
