Grid-layout - behavior of vertical cards

[cedricdelecole]

My Home Assistant version: 2024.1.2

Layout-card version (FROM BROWSER CONSOLE): latest

What I am doing:

Configured 3 columns and placed cards in columns 1 and 3. The 2 cards in columns 1 are ok .... but the card in column 3 is then taking the place of 2 cards, so it vertically takes the place of 2 cards.

What I expected to happen: the card on the third column should take 1 card place.

What happened instead: the card on the 3rd column is taking the place of 2 cards :

Minimal steps to reproduce:

It's hard to tell exactly because your code isn't formatted, but I'm guessing that the problem is your vertical-stack card. As far as grid-layout is concerned, that is one card, and so it means that column 1 and column 3 only have "one" card in them.

If you're going to use grid-layout, it doesn't make sense to nest a vertical-stack card because you can accomplish all of that by just using the grid.

FYI, if you use three backticks ``` above and below your code, that will properly format it into a code block.

For example:

```
type: custom:grid-layout
title: Grid Layout
etc.
```
