It seems that you can't change the width of a spacer (because it's an "imaginary" object?).  
But you can move the visible elements around with the layout editor - as long as the group width is \<= 30

So the problem is the layout editor has a maximum group width of 30. Is this a bug?

Btw. This is also true for me. Both, Node Red and Dashboard most recent versions. While already existing spacers have different sizes (from older NR versions) the newly generated ones are restricted to 1x1.

> Hi, I'm playing with v2.1.3 (Node.js v17.1.0) and dashboard v3.1.1. It seams that there is no way to configure spacer size: The layout treeview edit button 'allows' me to change its size by matrix selection ,but nothing happens when I validate my configuration. It is still at 1x1. Is there any known issue arround this? Did I miss something?
