I setup a column view with small, medium, and large breakpoints. I setup a second view of type tab and put a flex repeater on it. When I connect the column view and add an instance I get the following pictures: ![large1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/1/f1b73af35a7b644f49e39d09d499084e36c6c4f9.jpeg) ![medium1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/3/83c9349a641b822521772154bda6ea2121d5ee9a.jpeg) ![small1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/a/5a540f7c0cd06112b280304843653e68394c02c6.jpeg) Ok! These look great. But what if I add a 2nd instance to my flex repeater? ![large2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/c/cc36b2f8d29d3e56213826509a09c77ea62a5d2a.jpeg) ![medium2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/e/5ee591f983d9dcc03d60101a79aba2860c451da4.jpeg) ![small2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/f/1fdba3cc2545c527c4c9279d8bca78c0c5bfa5bb.jpeg) Ideally there would be less space between instances and never a scrollbar for any of the instances. I play around with the settings and I can fix 1 of the 3 screens but never all 3 at the same time. Thoughts? Does any other users use the flex repeater regularly?
