Are you able to reproduce the bug from the demo?

  • [*] Yes
  • No

What is the expected behavior? When changing the size of an element, it should not cause other same components to change at the same time.

Describe the bug detailed

I saw that the resizable of image video is correct. This is the case with my customization. The reason for this is that the style name is used when the change is made.

What is the current behavior?

Are you able to attach screenshots, screencasts or a live demo?

      editor.DomComponents.addType('section', {
        isComponent: el => el.className === 'bui-section',
        // Model definition
        model: {
          // Default properties
          defaults: {
            tagName: 'div',
            name: "section",
            droppable: false, // Can't drop other elements inside
            resizable: true,
            attributes: { // Default attributes
              className: 'bui-section',
            },

            components: `Text`,
          }
        }
      });
      editor.addComponents(`<div class="bui-section">BUI</div>`)

Use component first styling

grapesjs.init({
	...
	selectorManager: {
          componentFirst: true,
          ...
        },
})

Thanks for reporting this, @imouou.

The issue with option resizable:true will change all the same components in canvas. 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:

  1. Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
  // your operation here
}, 0);
  1. Check initialization order — make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them

  2. Use the editor's event system — 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) — this helps the team identify the root cause faster
  • Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
