Hi there,

I think I might now what the root cause of this is. But not really a good idea how to solve it.

I am having a margin on the outer container to have some distance to the window. But the column change from 1-2 is happening AFTER the “md” is reached. It might be related to those outer margins since the internal width is not yet “md”. But how would I implement that. Anyone has a suggestion?

I think it might be related to the width of your scrollbar, while the view is the correct width the deisgn isn’t at the right breakpoint due to the width of the scrollbar - that’s why manually resizing your view wider (the width of a scrollbar) works — Hope that makes sense.

_Pssst. @tpbradley maybe we need to do a little more work on taking into consideration the width of the scrollbars (that may or may not be there) when resizing the view 🤔_

Hi @dan,

yes I can confirm. This is related to the scrollbars. Just tested it with a shorter content and there it does not happen.

Thanks
