    It started off with node 3 under node 1 but once a few things got displayed it moved.

    Can't seem to get it to move back. This happens with both Firefox and Brave (Chromium based).

    Yeah that's how the bootstrap grid layout works. Since the node 1 div is a little taller than the node 2 div, it shifts node 3 over to the right.

    In some cases that can be a good thing, for example if your node 1 was using an 80x50 display, then it would actually look quite nice to have node 1 on the left and node 2+3 stacked on the right.

    I agree it looks like crap in the scenario captured by your screenshot though.

    I'll add a "clearfix" after every other div, which should fix this. The only drawback is the scenario where node 1 is 80x50 and node 2 is 80x25...there'll be a lot of whitespace under node 2, but that's probably a less common scenario than what's shown in your screenshot so should be the lesser of two evils.
