Seems simple but maybe I’m just missing something obvious. I’m sorta new Wix Studio but I know my way around it. Here’s what I want: 1. One row, two columns of text in a section 2. Section max width (1600px) 3. Each column has 200px padding/gap between them (fixed, does not scale or move) 4. Text content wraps when window is below max width 5. All text sizes stay fixed/do not scale 6. **Section is left aligned (stays fixed to left margin, never moves horizontally unless layout changes to tablet/mobile)** 7. Column content is also left aligned/fixed I can fulfill all points except #6 and #7. The text responds well and wraps when the window is smaller than 1600px, but **when the window size goes above 1600 the container starts moving horizontally** to the right as if the left padding is breaking or scaling proportionally or something. I don’t want the columns or text content to do anything when the window is above 1600. I want it all to stay in its 1600px positions. I can’t figure out if it’s containers or the section settings or what. I have all my padding in the section set to 42px on all sides. Content x and y are 0px\*. I have tried this both with a section grid and the “advanced CSS grid” and can’t seem to figure out where the issue is. Any help is appreciated. ---

Have you got a link to a demo of something we could see? Something to check is the docking - how are the elements aligned within the grid cells - e.g. are they docked to the center, or top left, bottom right etc ---

Good idea, I checked docking and they’re all set to top and left with auto docking off. Here’s a demo: [https://3phemera.wixstudio.com/columns-demo/about](https://3phemera.wixstudio.com/columns-demo/about) ---

Okay, just to confirm I’m understanding correctly - I’ve got a diagram (cos who doesn’t love a diagram? 😆) The aim is to have the section remain left aligned when the max width is reached? ![Screenshot 2026-06-08 at 14.10.48](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/2/6/268d10b0a74329261649f50007f9847aeea59bc6.png) * * * If this is the case, the default sizing won’t support this, but you would be able to achieve it with CSS grid - let me know if I’ve understood correctly, and I’ll share how 🙂 ---

yes, that’s right, and also for the right block of text to stay put (left aligned and adhering to the set pixel spacing/padding between the two columns) ---

Figured it out. For anyone with the same problem, I solved it by converting the section grid to an Advanced CSS grid, turning off max width, and setting fixed pixel min-max sizes for the columns as well as gaps between columns. ![Screenshot 2026-06-14 at 12.15.08](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/2/3/232a90e4fed6054eb2128d99b9b47f6f8769fa99.png) * * * ![Screenshot 2026-06-14 at 12.15.21](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/c/9/c94321ad0f524d004556a3633e9c8c5b1ff45c30.png) ---
