Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Add a block, set the height and min-height to 0
- Add another normal block
- Add a container
- Try to drop the 0 height block to the container, it will remove or duplicate some components and in some instances, the 0 height block cannot be dragged up/down. What is the expected behavior? Dragging a block shouldn't depend on the height of the element.
What is the current behavior? Dragging a block depends on the height of the element, and it must be greater than 0 to work as expected.

Thanks for reporting this, @asabryil.
Great question about Dragging an elements with 0 height causes unexpected behaviour. The recommended approach with Components is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
