Issue Summary
When the Confluence Page Viewer gadget attempts to render a Confluence page that utilizes the "Page Layout" feature (specifically sections with 2 or more columns), the gadget's dynamic height calculation fails. The iframe container expands to a default or maximum height rather than shrinking to fit the actual content, resulting in a significant amount of empty white space below the visible text. This occurs regardless of the volume of content; even a single character in a 2-column layout triggers the whitespace.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a page in Confluence.
- Add a "Page Layout" section and select a Two Column (or greater) layout.
- Add minimal text to the columns
- Navigate to a Jira Dashboard
- Add the Confluence Page Viewer gadget.
- Configure the gadget to display the page created in Step 1.
- Save the configuration and view the dashboard.
Expected Results
The gadget iframe should resize dynamically to fit the height of the content, leaving minimal padding/whitespace at the bottom (similar to how single-column pages render).
Actual Results
The gadget iframe retains a excessive height, displaying a large block of empty white space below the content
Workaround
Instead of using the "Page Layout" column sections, arrange the content using a standard Confluence Table or in another format. For the table:
- Insert a table with the desired number of columns.
- Remove the header row.
- Set the table borders to hidden/white.
- The gadget is able to calculate the height of Table elements correctly
