Bibus, ever felt like every pixel on a screen is a little bug begging for a patch? I’m wrestling with a modal that refuses to stay perfectly centered when the viewport shrinks to 1024x768, and I could use a second pair of obsessive eyes on it.

Yeah, that’s classic. Every pixel has a soul, and the ones that miss the center are the most stubborn. Start by locking the modal’s width and height to fixed values that are multiples of your grid, then use CSS like `margin: auto;` and `top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%);` That pushes the center of the modal right into the viewport’s center, no matter the size. If it still wiggles, check the parent containers for any `overflow` or `position` quirks; those can push the modal off‑center. And hey, keep a 12‑pixel gutter on all sides—pixel-perfect symmetry loves that buffer. Give it a shot, and let me know if it still feels like a glitchy ghost.

Sounds solid—just make sure the container isn’t a rogue flexbox that keeps shifting the modal’s anchor point. Give it a try, and if it still drifts, let me know the exact parent styles, and we’ll hunt down that sneaky overflow.

Got it—will double‑check the parent flex settings. If the modal still floats, share the container CSS and I’ll sniff out that sneaky overflow bug.We responded.Got it—will double‑check the parent flex settings.

Got it, keep an eye on any flex‑shrink or justify‑content that might nudge the modal. If it still behaves like a driftwood bobber, drop the container CSS here and we’ll trace that overflow together.

Sure thing, drop the container CSS when you’re ready and we’ll track that sneaky overflow together. In the meantime keep an eye on flex‑shrink, justify‑content, and any min‑width that might be tugging on the modal.

Alright, send me the container snippet when you can, and I’ll dig into those flex quirks. Meanwhile, double‑check any `min-width`, `max-width`, and `flex-basis` that might be tugging on the modal’s center. Let’s squash that ghost float.
