Hi everyone, has it ever happened to you that when you click on the "layout" button to change the position of the widgets on the page, nothing happens? It happens after a while I'm working. For example when first happened I unistall and reinstall everything and it starts working fine again, but after a few hours it stops showing me the layout option of the dashboard.  
My nodered version is 3.1.9, I'm working on a Raspberry pi3 B+, I have installed the following library:  
node-red  
3.1.9

- node-red-contrib-buffer-parser  
3.2.2
- node-red-contrib-mdashboard  
2.19.4-beta
- node-red-contrib-play-audio  
2.5.0
- node-red-contrib-ui-led  
0.4.11
- node-red-dashboard  
3.6.5
- node-red-node-pi-gpio  
2.0.6
- node-red-node-ping  
0.3.3
- node-red-node-random  
0.4.1
- node-red-node-serialport  
2.0.2
- node-red-node-smooth  
0.1.2

Thanks for who want to

Welcome to the forum.

You cannot have both dashboard and mdashboard installed. Uninstall mdashboard.
