I'm using the Markdown component as a means of generating a CSS/HTML chart. To do this I have `escapeHtml : false`. This causes the view to get corrupted and rearranges the other components on the view making editing very awkward.
_The Markdown component is in a flex view. Note how the Markdown container size shrinks when escapeHtml is false and any other components on the view get sucked inside with odd scaling and visibility._
1. Is this a known problem?
2. Is there a fix or a workaround that would make editing a better experience?
For anyone interested in the chart, progress can be tracked on [CSS 3D cuboid gauge](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/css-3d-cuboid-gauge/68522).

check my example in the other post, i put in a class to fix this, i think its the same issue atleast.
escaped html gets wrapped inside an empty div, causing some sizing issues.
`} .psc-fixMarkdownElementHeight > div{height:100%; width:100%}{`
note sometimes its get wrapped inside a span, which means you are not parsing the html correctly (some newlines or tabs idk), you should fix the parsn-ing, not try to addapt the style to span, span behaves different, its not a block elemt (though you can make it behave like that with `display:inline-block`)

Thanks, as always, Victor.
I added `} .psc-fixMarkdownElementHeight > div{height:100%; width:100%}{` to the markdown's props.style.backgroundImage but it didn't make any difference. I didn't code any tags in the markdown HTML and I don't see any when I inspect it in the browser tools.
I'll post the latest version over on [CSS 3D cuboid gauge](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/css-3d-cuboid-gauge/68522) shortly.

_Figure 1. Here's the setup._
_Figure 2. Here's the result._
I don't see an empty ``.
