dashboard widgets moving on their own

I am working on creating a dashboard for a manager, the dashboard has 7 reports 2 filters and a content block for a custom filter. Whenever I reload the page, some of the widgets will move to different places and some of them will resize. It happens consistently and I am going crazy. If anyone has any ideas for a fix, I would really appreciate the assistance. 

 

Thank you,

This happens to me as well. It's very frustrating! If you leave an empty space and you put a divider just to intentionally leave that top space empty, when you refresh the page after having saved the dashboard, it keeps filling up the empty space with one of the widgets that fit into that space.

Same problem. What I do is duplicate the widgets, replace them, and then remove the duplicated widgets. That works. However, when there is a new widget on the dashboard, the same thing happens.

Hi Team, the best solution I could find is to create a new tab in the dashboard and copy all the widgets over into the new tab, ensuring there isn't any blank space and all widgets are left justified. Its annoying and tedious but it works. The comment above is correct where it states that ServiceNow is thinking there is a blank space somewhere and so moving the widgets around to 'fill' the blank space even when there isn't one.
