Which unity8 version are you using and where's the code to reproduce this issue?

This is because a grid's row height is constant, and determined to be the max possible height of a card in this configuration. Which means it assumes 5 summary rows. It has to do that, 'cause we can't know if there *will* be a card that uses all 5 rows. It makes even more sense when you have more than one column - they might differ in size visually, but the whole row needs to align.

The solution will be to use vertical-journal layout, which adapts to the actual height of a card. We're looking into this now.
