I've found that whenever we have elements nested in other elements in Umbraco the default is that each level down is indented so that by the time you get to the rich text editor or whatever content field you're using the window is so narrow it's unusable
The example shown is a nested content partial that allows you to add rows and columns as needed. As you can see, not a great editor experience.
This isn't a problem isolated to nested content as a doctype. I see it fairly frequently when items are nested inside others
Before I begin looking at doing some custom backoffice stylesheets, has anyone ever tackled this and found a simpler way of doing it?
Thanks so much Huw. I am going to have to do this in a lot of doctypes due to the heavy use of nesting, but you've saved us a lot of headaches. Cheers!

try setting the label to be above the controls

No problem, I had the same issue myself :)
Because I'm an impatient man I had a look into doing this via CSS anyway and something like this would do it in an app plugin:
However I haven't tested the consequences of doing it globally yet.
