Continuing the discussion from [The end of Clown Vomit, or, simplified category styles](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-end-of-clown-vomit-or-simplified-category-styles/24249/153):

This is indeed confusing as it currently stands. Though this is not easy to solve with the two-column-layout. E.g. in your example, the parent category is at the very bottom and the subcategories at the top of the next column. Is it possible to add a break that is aware of the structure and e.g. push “Games” into the next column?
