Tables inside Layout Grid invisible in Design View

Post by nxr »

Hi Pablo,

I have encountered a specific workspace rendering bug in WYSIWYG Web Builder 21 that was not present in any of the previous versions.

Context:
The project was originally created in WWB 18, then successfully maintained and edited in WWB 20 without any issues. The problem appeared only after opening and working on the project in WWB 21.

Problem description:
When a standard Table object (imported from the older versions) is placed inside a Layout Grid, its content becomes completely invisible in the workspace (Design View). Curiously, after previewing or publishing the page, the table renders perfectly fine in the browser. The issue is strictly isolated to the WWB 21 editor workspace.

Steps to reproduce:

Open a project upgraded from v18/v20 in WWB 21.

Observe a Table object located inside a Layout Grid column.

The table is completely invisible in the Design View (though it still appears in the Object Manager).

Temporary workaround:
If I drag the Table outside the Layout Grid, it becomes visible again in the editor. Also, if I wrap the Table inside a standard Container/Flexbox Container and then place that container inside the Layout Grid, it remains visible.

It seems like the new v21 workspace rendering engine fails to properly calculate the height/overflow of legacy tables when they are direct children of a Layout Grid.

Could you please look into this backward compatibility rendering bug?

I was not able to reproduce this behavior based on your description. For me, it seems to work correct.
So, this may be related to specific settings in your project.
Can you please share DEMO project (not the full project!) so I can see all your settings?

For further details about how to share a project file, please see this FAQ:

Wow, that was incredibly fast! Thank you for the quick turnaround and the swift update.

I have installed the latest version, and everything works perfectly now. The tables are fully visible in the Design View again.

Thanks for the amazing support!

Hi Pablo,

The problem persists in the latest version 21.1 :(
Additionally, the bulleted list has started behaving identically.

Hi Pablo,

Thank you so much for the incredibly fast response and for fixing this so quickly! Please make sure this fix is included in future official updates.

By the way, if it is possible, I would like to request a small feature improvement for the Bulleted List object.

Currently, we have to define the number of items beforehand. Once the list is created, there is no way to edit or change the total number of bullet points afterward. This makes it very difficult to use the object efficiently, especially when we want to copy, paste, and quickly edit an existing list.

Having the ability to dynamically change or edit the number of points in an existing Bulleted List would be extremely useful and a great time-saver.

Thanks again for your amazing support!

You can add, remove and reorder bullets items via the commands in context menu.

Ah, I completely missed that! I apologize for the confusion, I should have checked the context menu first.
Thank you for pointing that out, it works perfectly and is exactly what I needed. Thanks again for your time and the quick help!
