Its the first child , I thought gaps only applied on the front that is 1 direction

That looks like spacing not gap? Helps if you share code

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

its row gap I swear and I can't share code because its made in web flow but i can share the the demo link for website, so you can inspect

is there a element with 0 height before play maybe? you can just inspect element

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

ignore the grid properties 🙂

MarkBoots•2mo ago

if i have to ignore it, please remove it. some grid/flex properties are shared. it can interfere

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

they dont , otherwise the dev tools would not show them that they are inactive ?

MarkBoots•2mo ago

i think its happening inside .text-block-8. but it would be really more usefull to have something live to play with

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

i can help you with that

MarkBoots•2mo ago

this is to difficult from just a few snippets and screenshots. I can't help

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

turn the home-2 class to display block

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

I am trying my all to help you understand 😦

Mannix•2mo ago

I'm not getting the same result as you

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

WTF

Mannix•2mo ago

if there is no extra element maybe you have pseudo element ?? those are counted in flexbox to

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

i think you are onto something

i_lost_to_loba_kreygasmOP•2mo ago

yeah you are right 🙂 thank you for solving the mystery I swear I didnt add them in css , I hate working in webflow , feel like it adds unnecessary styling or markups 😦
