Hi Team,  
I'm using 1. node-red-dashboard 3.6.1,  
I was able to manually resize buttons, switches, gauges etc in the leyout editor.  
For some reaseon I can not do it anymore, even the little padlocks are locked or open.  
It does't work on the already existing buttones and switches i had before and I was able to resize them, and doesn't work on a newly added itmes eather.

What can couse this? I don't belive i have changed any UI settings as I was working on the back end and haven't touched the dashboard for a while.

Thanks.

Sometimes I have the same issue. Usually rebooting fixes the problem.

I had this some times now and if I remember right the solution was just to restart the Browser, not Node-RED.
