div.md-content.md-content-ost Vaguely changed

[Tenax-599]

When I started working on my thirteenth post normally, I realised that the content had inexplicably become narrower

I checked my other posts locally and there was no change, I was puzzled

I've deployed on github.io
https://tenax-599.github.io/mkdocs-material/%E5%AD%A6%E4%B9%A0-modbustcp-%E9%80%9A%E4%BF%A1/
This is my source code, all my configurations are in there, I can't find where the problem occurs

Hello @Tenax-599,
this seems like a bug, you could report it via the proper channels in the Issues:

• https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/contributing/reporting-a-bug/

As for a quick fix, and explanation, here's my take:
The md-content--post div is a flex container, and it contains both the left metadata column and the main article content.
The article is a flex item which doesn't grow to take up the available space, instead the content inside defines the width, other posts have longer titles or images or longer paragraphs, so it grows naturally to take up the full available width. However, in this case the post has a short name, and almost no content, therefore the width doesn't expand.

To fix it you can add extra css and force the article to grow:

.md-content--post > article {
  flex-grow: 1;
}

It worked, thank you very much, I'll take your advice and raise the issue on issue

@kamilkrzyskow sounds like something we should fix, right? Would you like to PR?

[kamilkrzyskow]

Thanks for offering @squidfunk, typically I would say yes, but recently all the plates I've been juggling and eating from started to fall down and I'm left with a lot of cleaning up, moreover some sort of inertia has struck me real bad, so I'm just sitting there in the "this is fine" meme fashion 😆

There are many open issues, where I was supposed to help, but couldn't focus on like:

• the mermaid shadow-root extraction (which now can't be added, due to the feature freeze): Mermaid with Icons #6778
• the better python installation guidelines: There are easy ways to improve the user experience when you have an existing website and you're installing Material on a new PC #7757
• the better cache CI Improve caching in GitHub Actions workflow #7990 (comment) and blocked by that, some change to the create-blog template example to make it runnable in GitHub CI
• or the heart icon fix `cards_layout` option not recognized, but should be according to documentation? #7912

and likely way more, but that's too much to write all out 😅 I hope the situation will improve 🥹 ✌️

As for this issue, I wasn't even sure if this is the best fix, and you've already patched it #7985 🥳

[squidfunk]

So first of all, yes, I went ahead and fixed it. I should've commented here in the issue as well, as it might not have been obvious that a fix was provided as part of #7985, so this is my mistake. Then, even more importantly, please, always put your health and well-being first. You're not obliged to help others when you have too much on your plate right now.

If there's anything I can help with, or in case you just want to talk, drop me a message and I'm happy to hop on a call instantly.
