I was needing to use the `SPACER` thing in the dashboard menu to make things look nice.

I have seen it happen before but today was the limit. I took pictures.

They are _Magic!_ They have the ability to move from one _tab_ to another.

Have a look.

Ok, I slightly messed up the screen captures. I was getting annoyed and wasn't watching what was doing.

But I think the pictures will say 1000 words.

Yes, I already have a `spacer` in the list. I couldn't be bothered deleting it for the sake of showing the problem.

I was making one in/on the `telemetry` tab. 3x3.  
You can see I am making it and when I press the `DONE` button: It is gone!

Look where it went!

I think this is a bug.

Update:

Today I got up and looked at the dashboard of said machine.

The `spacer` has stopped _working_.

I open the edit windows and look. It is there - unchanged - but it isn't being honoured on the dashboard.

Details:  
Machine on which it is: RPZ(w)  
NR 0.20.5  
Dashboard 2.15.4

Machine on which it is being viewd:  
NUC  
Ubuntu  
NR (doesn't really matter. I am looking at the dashboard)  
Browser FF  
Tried with Chrome - same result.
