Read full answer below βQuestion
Version: 0.17.19
Are you able to reproduce the bug from the demo?
- Yes
- No
What is the expected behavior? You should be able to see every child in the layer manager
Describe the bug detailed What is the current behavior? Are you able to attach screenshots, screencasts or a live demo? Currently when you go in depth in the layer manager the scaling gets completely messed up like this: https://i.imgur.com/gE20I9G.png
I saw this was mentioned in issue 3463 where it was decided to be an extremely low priority fix. However, I believe I have a very simple fix to the problem. All we have to do is add a display:grid; to the .gjs-layer and it scales perfectly. With this fix it will end up looking as I believe it should: https://i.imgur.com/I7zfz4m.png
I made a PR with the fix before realizing I should first create an issue. So here is both at the same time. PR: https://github.com/artf/grapesjs/pull/3628

Thanks for reporting this, @Spjoetvoll.
The issue with BUG AND FIX: Layer manager overflow/scaling appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order β make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system β listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
