What could be causing the items in my Webflow grid to not fully fill up the available space on the right side of the container, particularly when there are only three items?

There could be several reasons why the items in your Webflow grid are not fully filling up the available space on the right side of the container, especially when there are only three items. Here are a few potential causes and solutions:

  1. Insufficient grid column settings: Check the column settings of your grid to ensure that they are properly configured. Make sure that the columns are set to equal widths and that the number of columns matches the number of items you have.

  2. Inconsistent item sizes: If the items within your grid have varying sizes, it may cause the grid to not fill up the space evenly. Check and make sure that the items have consistent dimensions, either by setting fixed widths or using percentages.

  3. Empty grid cells: If there are empty grid cells within your container, it can affect the way the items fill up the available space. Ensure that there are no empty cells in your grid and that all items are properly placed.

  4. Padding or margin settings: Check the padding and margin settings of your items and the grid container. If there is excessive padding or margin applied, it can cause gaps and uneven spacing. Adjust these settings to ensure a proper fit within the grid.

  5. Grid container overflow: If the grid container has an overflow set to hidden or scroll, it can hide or cut off the items that should be filling up the space. Make sure the overflow property of the grid container is set to visible or auto to avoid any issues.

  6. Responsive behavior: Check the responsiveness of your grid. It is possible that the items are filling up the space on larger screens but not on smaller screens due to the way you have set up the responsive behavior. Ensure that your grid is properly set up for all screen sizes.

Remember to preview your changes and test them across different devices and screen sizes to ensure that your grid is filling up the available space correctly.
