Please, please! Next update. Turn the auto add of dashboard spacing OFF

I make a simple change, to add a 2X2 button, and dashboard (core) goes insane!

Granted it's a pretty full page but there was room for the button. I must have 200+ "spacings" now on that page AND THEY KEEP BEING ADDED. Why?

I could live with this if I didn't have to DELETE every single one, one by one ... AND having to hit the elusive edit button, then find and click delete. Is there a way to:

  1. turn this auto function off (please?, I'm begging); and
  2. delete them in a group. I'd be happy to just have highlight one and hit the delete key, but this doesn't work either.

To add to the madness, when you click the (small) edit button on a spacer it sometimes opens the one above, which you do not want to delete.

Looking for contributions to my sanity. Can anyone help?

So you know I'm not exaggerating ....
Spacings

Please next update

Unfortunately dashboard 1 is depreciated. There will not be (m)any updates I'm afraid.
