Right, I have been able to narrow the problem down to a custom macro I have created. As soon as I add this macro to the page, the columns of the dashboad are overruled by this macro! This macro is using the {{container}} macro to display all the child-pages of a page. My guess is that a page only knows one "container", and that the 'nr_of_columns' of my custom macro is setting the number of columns of the whole page (and thus also the dashboad). As soon as I changed the 'nr_of_columns' of my custom macro to 2, the dashboard was also displayed with two columns. I have noticed the Column Macro <http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Column+Macro> so maybe I was using the wrong code-snippet? I will rework my custom macro to use the Column Macro, I will let you guys know what happens! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Dashboard-does-not-remember-layout-tp75853...
