i think what he means is the spaces between the categories, not the cloud vomit thing, but, i could be wrong!

The hamburger is also in the discussion:

oh right yeah sorry!

Correct. The spacing is crazy.

Agree, the misalignment here is clearly a bug

The margin on .d-dropdown .category is causing this. Also the spacing is totally off, this looks a ton better:

I will muck with this on Tuesday, unless someone beats me to it.

We should definitely do a two column layout here for v1.2, the tag cloud style layout is just awful and always has been. Let’s make it wider as well.

(Plus I remember telling @neil about the hamburger category alignment issues a year ago where mysterious white space would appear.)

Yeah I remember fixing that a while ago. It must have come back with the recent changes.
