If the topic cards component is enabled, certain settings result in a funky layout for a category Calendar.

Setting the **Calendar Categories Outlet** to **before-topic-list-body** the calendar ends up becoming scrunched at the top of the topic lists.

If I set the Calendar Categories Outlet to **discovery-list-container-top** the calendar correctly utilizes the whole area:

Seems like a bug in the topic-cards component.

When the topic-cards component is disabled the calendar works as expected when using the **before-topic-list-body** outlet.
