If you are experiencing an awkward gap in the second row of your CMS list display in Webflow, it could be caused by various factors. Here are some potential causes and solutions to help you troubleshoot and fix the issue:

Uneven item heights: Ensure that all the items in your CMS collection have the same height. If there is a variation in heights, it might cause the items in the second row to shift and create a gap. To fix this, you can set a fixed height for each item or ensure that the content within each item is consistent.
Margin or padding: Check if there is any extra margin or padding applied to the items in the CMS list display. Even a small amount of margin or padding can create a visual gap between the items. Inspect the styles applied to each item and adjust the margin/padding values as needed.
Flexbox settings: If you are using a flexbox layout to display the CMS items, make sure that the flex properties are set correctly. For example, if you have set the flex-direction property to row, the items should align horizontally without any gaps. If the flex-wrap property is set to nowrap, it might cause the items to overflow and create a gap in the second row. Adjust the flexbox settings accordingly to fix the issue.
Floats or positioning: If you are using floats or any form of positioning to align the items, double-check that you have applied these properties consistently across all items. Inconsistent float or positioning can lead to gaps in the layout.
Grid or columns settings: If you are using a grid or column-based layout, review the settings applied to each item. Ensure that the grid or column settings are correctly defined and that the items are distributed evenly within the layout.
Browser compatibility: Sometimes, display inconsistencies can occur due to browser compatibility issues. Test your CMS list display on different browsers to see if the gap persists. If the issue is specific to a particular browser, you may need to use browser-specific CSS rules or adjust the layout to achieve consistency.

Remember to save your changes and preview the live CMS list display after implementing each solution to see if the awkward gap has been resolved. In case the issue persists or you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to the Webflow community or support team for additional help.
