block diagram column counting error

[akumria]

Description

When creating a block diagram, see the code sample below, the column counting code gets confused and mis-renders blocks.

In the first link, we have a physical server specified as occupying 5 block spaces

However, it seems to take up 6.

When we move the physical server to the bottom, as I originally wanted, the "phantom column" takes the physical server

If I then constrain the two guest sub-blocks, the render begins to look correct:

However in the above, the "Bins/Lib", although being specified as occupying 2 (or 3) columns, only end up occupying one.

If we remove the phsyical server, we get closer:

Steps to reproduce

I tried using the mermaid CLI, then mermai.love (v10.9.0) and finally develop.git.mermaid.love, all of them display the same rendering issues.

Was running into the same issue and found this issue. Can confirm having the same issue. Not sure what I can add to the discussion though.

[zach-flaglerhealth]

The simplest reproduction I can make is:

block-beta
columns 3

block:group1:3
columns 3
    A:3
    B 
    C 
    D
end

If you remove the columns directive at the beginning and the :3 on the group, then it renders A correctly spanning the three columns.

A variant:

block-beta
columns 3

block:group1
    A:3
    B 
    C 
    D
end

produces a diagram where A takes up 2 columns, B 1, C and D are going outside of the grouping, and there is an entire extra row underneath.

Conceptually (and maybe in the code?), this seems like it might be the same problem as #5423 and #5470?
