Awkward Column Break Points #214

Closed nickff closed 7 years ago

nickff commented 7 years ago

Hi Adam,

First of all, thanks for the great plugin!

Secondly, I'm using it here - http://www.vmdo.com/about.html - and noticing that the first column often breaks at an awkward point, but as soon as you resize the browser it becomes "smarter" and breaks to the second column at a more appropriate place.

Here's an example of the awkward break on page load:

awkward

And then the better break just after resizing the browser window:

good

Any ideas on how to get it to break at that more appropriate juncture on page load? Let me know!

Is your script definitely running on page load and not before? If so, another thought would be to adjust the accuracy option to some low integer - maybe around 3 or 5. That'll affect the amount of text that's calculated when chopping text between columns.
