      I’m using MMM-Carousel by @shbatm in slide mode and have had no issues for a long time. I had not done any updates or pulls for a while as everything was working like I wanted. For some reason, my mirror started having issues. I went through doing updates on the rassberry and all the modules, but two issues remained: 1) everything shifted up about an inch shortly after starting up the mirror (including all the modules and the background slideshow) and 2) my buttons (using MMM-Buttons to transition slides) stopped working. When I comment out the Carousel module in the config.js file (as well as the modules that are supposed to be on the later slides), everything displays properly. Current modules are default clock in top left, MMM-News below that, OpenWeatherForecast in top left, and CalendarExt3Journal along the bottom.

        @jlward73 this is the second report on carousel causing a problem, but carousel has no ui of its own.

        can you show your config for MMM-Carousel?

          Sam- Here is the snippet from my config file:

          	{
                      module: "MMM-Carousel",
                      position: "bottom_bar",
                      config: {
                          transitionInterval: 0,
                          ignoreModules: ["MMM-SimpleBGSlideshow"],
                          mode: "slides",
                          showPageIndicators: true,
                          showPageControls: true,
                          slides: [
          ["clock", "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast", "MMM-News", "MMM-CalendarExt3Journal"],
          ["MMM-CalendarExt3", "MMM-CalendarNext"],
          ["alert","updatenotification"]
                          ],
                          keyBindingsMode: "DEFAULT",
                          keyBindings: {
                              NextSlide: "ArrowRight",
                              PrevSlide: "ArrowLeft",
                              Slide0: "Home"
                          },
                      },  //End of Carousel config
                 },  //End of Carousel module
          

          I can also send a picture of what it looks like.

              Sam- This is weird. I commented out the position property and it showed all the modules at the same time instead of splitting the out across slides. It was hard to see what was being “repositioned” since several of the modules share the same position property, but it just looks like the slide mode is being ignored.

              I went back and put the position property back in and started playing around with the showPageIndicators and showPageControls properties. Changing showPageControls to false had no impact on position, but did allow me to transition between slides. Turning showPageIndicators to false did remove the indicators and the positioning was less high (including the BGSlideshow).

              I still can’t get the buttons to work with Carousel like they used to but trying to troubleshoot one thing at a time.
