Using the Kendo UI Dojo, I have the code seen at the bottom. There are also two screenshots.
If you run this, you will find that the child elements are widely spaced apart even though their own content is small. If I change the value of item ID 1 to 10 characters, the spacing shrinks to reasonable distances (see screenshots below). I don't understand why the parent width should affect the child widths. Is there any way for me to correct this?
Thank you,
Tom Clark

Hi Martin,
I would suggest taking a look at the following forum thread where the issue and the observed appearance are explained in more detail:
- https://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-adjust-spacing-or-size-of-orgchart#5519102
In the forum, you will also find a link to a related feature request for improving the ORgChart rendering that I would encourage you to cast a vote for.
Let me know in case you have additional questions on the matter.

Yes, I had seen the feature request and just now voted for it. I'm still exploring what I can and can't do with the orgchart. This width behavior is odd, so I'm glad others have seen it too. I realize there is no current resolution or explanation for the behavior I'm seeing though.
I'm using it to display relationships between objects and not as a proper personnel orgchart. So far it works well for a simple parent/child diagram which is all our application is currently using, but I'm working on an upgrade to be able to visualize different relationships, so I'm likely going to be pushing the boundaries.
