Accordion menu affecting other blocks

Go to solution Solved by Ziggy,

I'm using accordion menus on a few pages. When clicking on the accordion to open up a section, it stretches out the spacing between other blocks that are parallel to the accordion block. It's as if they are connected somehow. On one page, opening the accordion menu even stretches out a shape block that is to the right of it. Is there anything I can do to prevent this happening? Any code I can implement, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help!

Can you share your website URL and a page this is happening on?

Accordion blocks stretch the hight of the rows they take up when they expand, there's not much you can do to avoid this, but if you make the accordion block larger than it needs to be, when one of the sections expands then it will first fill that space before stretching the rows. Do you have room to do that to some extent?

Thanks so much for responding. If you go to "Joining" from the main menu, you can see what the accordion menu is doing to the other blocks. Thanks for any help you can provide. Here are my logins:

Yes, like I thought, did you try my suggestion to make the accordion block taller?

I wasn't able to yesterday, but I gave it a shot today. It wasn't possible to do this in all of the places I'd like to have done it, but it did work in some places. Thank you so much for helping me out with this. I'm happy knowing at least I won't make this mistake in my designs going forward.
