I’m noticing my \tailwind\_theme\tailwind.css is suddenly shrinking in size when I save a page that has new classes. My site will be about 4,000 pages once finished. I’m at 1,500 now.

If I hit Project Settings icon \> Tailwind CSS \> Refresh used classes and save, the tailwind file jumps about 30KB. Then when I open a page that has a new class and save, it drops back down.

Anything I can do to fix it?

Please, send us both css files so that we can see what is causing the difference.  
Note: In theory, refreshing classes should decrease the size, not increase it.

I sent an email to support with embeds and my process to replicate. I’m not seeing this issue on smaller sites. I haven’t actually inspected the css yet but did attach both versions… the refresh and also the new file open \> save when it discovers new classes, which when I save, drops the size and tons of classes.

Hi @Emmanuel I’ve been able to get this bug to return with 9.3 (_which is weird because 9.2 is on the site now_, sorry, this is incorrect, 9.3 is seen on the homepage, but [Download Pinegrow | Pinegrow Web Editor](https://pinegrow.com/download/download-pinegrow-web-editor/) needs updating). All is well working on the site, adding new classes ends up adding to the compiled css. However, it seems when I close the software and reopen it, then open a new page, save, it does shrink 50kb of needed classes out where I need to refresh used classes and rebuild. Just wanted you to be aware, just in case you weren’t already.

A little more detail, when I close Pinegrow and reopen, then open a page in a project, it “forgets” that I have the design panel activated and I have to hit the activate button again. Once I do that, and save, it then wipes the compiled css down from 103Kb to 38Kb. I then have to open many pages, making sure the design panel is active, save quite a few pages with different designs and finally refresh used classes and it jumps back up to where it should be.

This makes rebooting my computer an issue obviously. If I don’t hit that activate button and refresh used classes, it doesn’t pick up all the classes.

Confirmed fixed in V10. Thanks Emmanuel.
