Hi Natalie,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for reaching out!

I’m not sure if I’m understanding you correctly, but have you tried clicking the “Lock Icon” a second time?

Best regards,

Hi!
Yes I clicked several times on top of the Red Lock button without any result.
I’m still learning the basics.

All my best

Hi Natalie,
let’s start from the beginning:

  1. What version of Bricks are you using?
  2. What browser are you using?
  3. Do you have any form of caching active?
  4. Can you record a short video showing the problem and explaining what is happening?
  5. Is this the only problem you’re experiencing, or are you having problems in Builder in general?

Best regards,
timmse

Hello timmse,
Overall in Bricks builder up to now everything works fine and I’m really impressed with this amazing software.
However I don’t know how to fix the locking issue . I attach a quick video to showcase to you.
I’m running the latest Bricks builder version in a local environment with a Windows chrome computer, no cache plugin added.
I really want to know how to fix this.(maybe it is an annoying bug).

Hi,
Thanks for the info!

What exactly are you expecting from the setting? I think that’s where the problem/misunderstanding lies. As far as I can tell from the gif, everything is as it should be.

The width setting is just to see in the builder how your layout behaves at the size you entered (if there is enough space). If you switch to another breakpoint after unlocking and then back to the desktop, or after collapsing the structure or settings panel, you will also see the number change.

Please take a look at this (old) academy article and the changelog entry about the canvas width lock:

Hi Timmse,

Thank You for the reply.
I realized how it works now.
Not the way I was expected to.

All the best
