show_empty in Sections view

[woniol]

If show_empty is set to false, card is shown in the Sections view, taking additional space.
Not sure if this is for auto-entities card or the new Sections view case?

I can confirm and provide a screenshot.

The space in the middle is created by 6 card with "show_empty: false".

These gaps driving me crazy. It seems more like Sections bug due same situation with conditional card right now.

Any news? I still can't use the sections due to this bug and I don't even know if the problem is from auto-entities or Lovelace :(

Hi @thomasloven,
I have the same problem. The problem with conditional cards has been fixed here, but empty auto-entities cards still occupy space. See attached screenshots.

I was going to open a bug on HA, as a follow-up to home-assistant/frontend#20352 (where they state the solution for the problem is using the new Visibility option, but that effectively causes us to recreate and duplicate the filters from auto-entities; not a solution). My thesis was that they should reduce --row-height and/or make it themeable, so we can fix it for our specific scenarios...

However, while writing it, I realize the default entities-filter does not show this behavior. Thus, I guess this is a bug with this custom card, which should not generate an empty card component on the UI (instead of generating an empty one).

Any updates or solutions to fix this even if manually?

I've made a PR that fixes this issue - I hope @thomasloven has time to look at it 😄
