Hi there, I updated my project engine to version 3.1.2, and I’ve run into a frustrating layout quirk on my workspace canvas. I’m choosing to work with the Desktop Layout. Before the update, my page elements sat inside a beautifully centered 1200px track with lovely, spacious side galleries. Now, all text and image containers are forcefully widening themselves edge-to-edge flush with the outer master boundaries, making the editing environment look completely squished. I’ve verified my parent container has the width explicitly set to **Breakpoint** (and tried **Auto** ), Max Width locked at **1200** , and Left/Right margins set to **auto**. The live website remains correctly constrained, but the editing canvas refuses to shift or respect the parent limits. Did an internal container inheritance rule change in the v2 layout engine update? How can I get my cozy layout assistant margins back inside the studio? I’m hoping I can retrieve the former layout as I build onto my website, the stretched out width of the Containers within the Main Container are really hard to work with regarding clear intention of design work. And is this the right place to receive any assistance? Many thanks in advance.
