A peculiar issue arises with the Bootstrap 5 Carousel placed inside a Flexbox where it unexpectedly expands in width (pushing other flex-items aside) when transitioning between images. This behavior persists even when the immediate container is set to display:block but some ancestor element utilizes flex properties.
Here's the code snippet (the carousel section was copied from https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/carousel/)
<div id="midbody">
<Main class="carousel-container">
<div id="carouselExampleControls" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
<div class="carousel-inner">
<div class="carousel-item">
<svg class="bd-placeholder-img bd-placeholder-img-lg d-block w-100" width="800" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="img" aria-label="Placeholder: First slide" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" focusable="false">
<title>Placeholder</title>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#777"></rect><text x="50%" y="50%" fill="#555" dy=".3em">First slide</text>
</svg>
</div>
<div class="carousel-item">
<svg class="bd-placeholder-img bd-placeholder-img-lg d-block w-100" width="800" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="img" aria-label="Placeholder: Second slide" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" focusable="false">
<title>Placeholder</title>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#666"></rect><text x="50%" y="50%" fill="#444" dy=".3em">Second slide</text>
</svg>
</div>
<div class="carousel-item active">
<svg class="bd-placeholder-img bd-placeholder-img-lg d-block w-100" width="800" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="img" aria-label="Placeholder: Third slide" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" focusable="false">
<title>Placeholder</title>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#555"></rect><text x="50%" y="50%" fill="#333" dy=".3em">Third slide</text>
</svg>
</div>
</div>
<button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleControls" data-bs-slide="prev">
<span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
</button>
<button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleControls" data-bs-slide="next">
<span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
</button>
</div>
</Main>
<div class="aside">
<div>
<h2>something </h2>
</div>
</div>
The following CSS styling:
#midbody {
margin: 20px auto;
width: $screen_width;
height: auto;
flex: 1 0 auto;
display: flex;
}
.carousel-container {
display: block;
}
Tried solutions include:
- Setting overflow to hidden as recommended Bootstrap carousel: images out of div when sliding
- Modifying the carousel's container to: flex: 0 1 auto;
