Issues with data card sizing and location

[Dahl]

See the reference image below: 

I tried to locate two short data cards in the bottom right by the X Y fields but they automatically go to the bottom left below the cutoff of the screenshot. 

I had one data card in the bottom right, but it automatically scaled to fit that space, around 300 pixels. And if I changed the size Y field it would automatically reset to that ~300 value.

I cannot locate a data card in the bottom right

Thank you for the reply, I tried some things with a custom data card and switching order back and forth, but found the custom data card also fell to the same issue: It was also resized to the full height of the available space in the bottom right. No matter what I do, I cannot set a height in this area less than 302 pixels

[Dahl]

please note, the same is true for the other two data cards to the left, the whole tall row along the bottom is fixed at the height of 302, which makes up the rest of the page. Might there be a height restriction somewhere that is constraining to the form height?

@Dahl ,

Yes it is frustrating - also you can temporarily reduce the width of one of the cards in the row (I subtract 100), swap them around and back again and then put the card back to the correct size, Also ensure you have no hidden cards in the middle somewhere.

I tried that, and it does appear to work at first, but then when trying to reorder afterwards, that cell resizes itself yet again to 302 pixels. I confirmed there are no obstructions, I even removed the error messages and any contents to the datacard and saw the same issue.

@Dahl ,

Yes - it does that every time you re-order. I have found at times I need to leave the "short" cards in place until I get my final desired order, then put them back to the correct size at the end.
