Dashboard view cards keep getting bigger forcing 2 across view vs 3 across, why?

On the HOME tab there is a Dashboard view. There are cards for various topics like Bills, Income & transfers, Net Worth, Income & expense, etc. Well, I've had this window sized so that 3 cards fit across nicely for quite awhile. Now it seems that the spacing between cards keeps getting larger or the cards are getting wider and the view drops to 2 cards wide. I have to reduce the width of the accounts list on the left size to get 3 cards again. Whats going on? Seems like you have a BUG in your display code for the Dashboard view or you keep making the spacing wider or the cards wider. Is there not a way to specify the card width so I can get 3 cards wide display? I have not changed anything on my Windows display settings.

    How many "cards across" you see is primarily a function of how much screen space is available, which is a function of how wide your Toolbar is.

    I was able to reduce the number of "cards across" by widening the toolbar, and then restoring to 3 across by narrowing it back to it's prior size.

    I have found that the width of the account bar did change the 'layout' of the cards on the dashboard. I, too, had 3 across but this morning found it was only 2 and I do not recall changing the width of the account bar but when I reduced it, the dashboard went back to 3 across.

    Quicken needs to provide the user more ability to customize the display like being able to resize the cards or provide a fixed column approach that the user can select X columns. For the money the app costs nowadays, they surely like adding things I never use but never fix things I request or report an error on.
