Dashboard Widget Layout Misalignment on Laptops

"Generally speaking I enjoy working with MainWP but the dashboard layout is funky (see, I didn’t say ‘off’? lol) on different screens. The widgets can be positioned to look great on desktop screens but then they go out of whack on Laptop screens. It is not that the widgets do not stack so much as they skip placement slots in the grid leaving gaps"
