June 2026 introduced gap between grouped elements

[WillyG]

With the new update gaps have been introduced between grouped elements. The whole purpose of grouping elements is to not have gaps so that elements can be placed thematically.  Can this be reverted please or at least heave an option to set the gap between grouped elements? I wish I had taken a screenshot of this dashboard pre and post update, but overall, it looks worse with the June 2026 update

Can you please provide a sample dashboard either here, or to Technical support so we can explore further?

We are also wanting the ability for grouped elements to not have a gap. Previously our dashboard had the white sections seamlessly blended, now it's clear that the "i" icon is an additional element and looks disconnected.

Thank you for your patience while this was reviewed. The gap that is now more noticeable is actually the element resizing capability that is showing between grouped elements. If this setting is disabled in the dashboard settings then the gap will not show. Alternatively could consider a different dashboard background color if you would like it to be less noticeable.

Thanks @SandraLuken1   I've turned off element resize and that does the trick, but now the user cannot resize elements, so like a lot of things in dashboards this is now worse than it was before the June 2026 update. The colours cannot be changed as these are from the organization's branding standards

You mentioned wishing you had a screenshot, not sure if the Wayback Machine could help?
