@tuanphan, I'm having the same issue. I can get this code snippet to work for every other kind of block but not shape blocks. It would be wonderful if we could get your brain on this!

Same issue, a client really wants to be able to use arrows to navigate a slideshow.

Hahaha, they just said "ask people on the forums, we won't do anything for you. And we can't be held responsible for the efficacy of their solutions" so I don't think they're going to do anything. Definitely raised the issue though.

That was the solution! I'll just go into a bit more detail to help anyone with the same issue: So, at my 100% zoom level I can't shrink the text block. Then, even with centre alignment, zooming out, shrinking the text box and then saving works a treat. Now everything works perfectly on all monitor sizes. The only thing to flag is, if and when anyone else has this issue, whenever you change anything at all, the block will revert to having the massive spacing. So every time, before saving, zoom out to 200%, shrink the block last and then save. Learn to know where the other blocks will sit when you shrink the block because it has to be the very last thing you change. Thanks again!

Hey there! Okay, so I tried the zooming out crazy amounts and shrinking the block and it seems to have worked on my monitor. That's crazy. I just kept going "SURELY NOT" out loud the whole time. I need to wait until my client wakes up to check with them as to whether it's fixed on their monitor but that's crazy. I would never have thought of something as simple as zooming out wildly to fix it. I don't get why FE wouldn't just make it flush with the block below at all sizes as standard though given that if you put two blocks together you obviously want them to stay together at all monitor sizes and as it always has on the 20 or so prior sites I've built but I guess things are always shifting and changing at the moment. That's kind of bonkers. I'll reach back out here to say whether it worked for the client or not but if that's the solution I will obviously mark your last message as such and I will be in your digital debt forever ahaha. Thanks for working with me on this so far.

I've tried reducing it with code but unfortunately it you reduce it on the monitor it shows up on it overlaps on the others. I will reach out to Squarespace just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Any further thoughts from anyone would be greatly appreciated though as speed is of the essence here.

Hi @melody495 I'm afraid that isn't the solution. I can't shrink the text block any further than it's current size whatever alignment I set it to. So there's something causing this massive spacing that's unrelated to my code (as the issue persists even if I remove it all) and the alignment.

Hey @melody495, Thanks for the suggestion! I have tried setting it to align to the top but the gap underneath just doubles in size so it's not that causing the issue I'm afraid.

Hey @AlexSan! Sorry, I did include the link in the original post but it doesn't show up in the body text. Here's the link: https://www.greglansky.com/new-sidebar

Hey there! Anyone who can help would be an absolute angel. So, I am building a site for a client and they have a very large monitor that they are using to preview the site. Whenever they pull up the page they see: Whereas I see on my not insignificant work monitor: The line blocks above and below the text are flush with the two edges of the text block so I don't understand why they are not moving up to be flush with the text as the page changes size (which is what is happening elsewhere on the site and has always happened for me before) I removed all of the custom CSS from the site and the issue didn't fix itself. ...and I tried adding the dashed lines as a border to the text block rather than as a separate line block and the issue persisted. I also tried increasing the size of the font a lot and the amount of spacing just adjusted to be EVEN LARGER. I am at my wits end here, can someone please help me?

This is exactly what I am wondering.

Hey, so Will Myers has a great tutorial for doing anchor links with offsets without the need for scroll-margins (which don't see to work on Squarespace since the latest update) https://www.will-myers.com/articles/anchor-link-offset-trick-in-squarespace Hope that helps!

Hey all! Not going to take this down but found you can adjust the menu columns by using the below CSS: .menu-block .menu-style-classic .menu-items { column-width: 25em !important; column-gap: 4em !important; } By adjusting this I've gotten to something the client is happy with. Do let me know if there's another way though!

Hi all, So, I am creating a menu for a client, using the menu block, but they want the menu to only have two collumns even at wider screen sizes. Is there a way to limit the amount of columns that the multi-column layout creates? The link is below: https://www.cinicocoffee.com/menu Thanks!

Hey, thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately neither of those work. They both fade in the drop down after it's quickly swiped in. I'm looking to slow down that standard swipe animation itself. Can you possibly help with that?
