I believe I am using that, yes, in the sidebar as a widget.

Thank you for this! Will that affect other lists or just this?
And do you know why they are only rendering in small size and not larger when selected?

Hi Herman

Thanks for getting into this for me!
I found some css which seems to help:
#comments {
max-width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
}

The problem is that this now squeezes the comments even more if they are nested.
I think the problem was caused by nested comment replies each going a bit to the right, which then pushes the viewable area sideways.

So what I really need is some css to stop the nested comments going sideways, and just aligning left like the comment they reply to. Maybe with some background colour instead so people can see it’s nested. But I cant find that css anywhere, and don’t code much myself!

The problem is just wordpress native comments being ugly and the theme having no options to make them nicer. I don’t want to use a plugin as it adds weight, and with the whole core web vitals thing, I am trying to reduce page weight, not add to it:-)

I am also wondering if I have a bigger problem with my mobile header, as it is causing a layout shift problem. I don’t know if this is connected to the weird side scrolling of nested comments. I saw your video you also have sideways comments, but it doesn’t push the viewable area like mine does. Weird…

Thanks again!

I finally fixed it by regenerating critical css in wprocket.
