I have a sudden and unexpected problem with COLLAPSE across ALL my pages. The only code used is the one visible below. When I click the command to COLLAPSE, the element gets distorted… IN THE EDITOR ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/8/0/80e6bed5aa26a52e2ebab46b4659f42375b5a1bb.png) IN PREVIEW ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/f/5/f517a10a1c566feae4be52d96b35cc7bb61662c2.png) It suddenly broke in my main site so I tried many ‘test’ pages, many different configurations, add/remove various elements, nothing. The result is always something like the above. ---

I wouldn’t do any changes on the site for a while. This error could be caused by changements (upgrades on wix side). Just wait for 1-2-days and see if everything works again. If not, then contact wix. Sudden comming ERRORs, without changing CODE on site is a WIX-sided error in most of the cases.

This is the second time in one week’s time that I spend my precious time debugging things I didn’t myself break, instead of studying and coding… ---

Yes, thats true! I already suggested to develop something, which would inform all users, when updates are running. But no reactions. ---

Strange behavior, once again. Expanded elements do not show up in Live at the position where they are placed and seen in Editor… ---

There are 2 columns and a button named “przycisk” - it collapses the column on the left. In the preview right column fills the empty space but in the browser, it doesn’t. Can’t find a solution to this. [https://kontakt7845.wixsite.com/mojawitryna](https://kontakt7845.wixsite.com/mojawitryna) ---

Looks like this issue is back. collapse(), expand(), hide(), show(), all throwing an error as of 2 days ago. on all my sites. It’s quite annoying. For a premium service I’d expect something a lot more stable. I’ve encountered several service outages over the last couple months as well. Anyone else?
