Hi,
Forgot to mention, I have cleaned out all weird characters in friendly name for a lot of entities by simply use a customisation.yaml file that I call via configuration.yaml file.
So I cleaned out '/()öäå" characters.

If I look trough the developer tools I can't find any entity with weird characters anymore.
It looks fine but in the call service node it won't place the entity's on correct way.

Ok,
I tried to change the css code directly in the browser:
.select2-container .select2-selection–multiple .select2-selection__rendered {
display: contents;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
}

to:

.select2-container .select2-selection–multiple .select2-selection__rendered {
display: grid;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
}

Then it worked better, but how can I change this permanently?

@frenck do you have good solution on how to solve this bug?

[bozman2021]

Updated to 14.1.0 and in HACS Node-Red Companion to 1.2.0 but the problem is still there, really annoying bug.

This you issue is not provided by the add-on, add-ons wrap existing applications.
We can't fix the application, as we don't develop it.

Your issue is therefore in the wrong place and, will here, not be ever solved.

Going to close it on this end; as this is not an add-on issue.

Ok, tried to escalate this in the node-red forum before I created this ticket and they told me that this isn't in their scope when it is inside HA.
Node-red:

Home-Assistant:

So now it's a dead end and no one can help me at all.

Ok thanks for letting me know anyway.
