Platform: Intel(R) Client Systems; model: NUC6CAYH, platform: linux; distro: Ubuntu; release: 22.04.4 LTS; arch: x64; kernel: 6.5.0-44-generic, electron: 29.1.6; used node: 20.9.0; installed node: 20.15.1; npm: 10.7.0; pm2: 5.3.1

Node Version: node: 20.15.1

MagicMirror² Version: MagicMirror: v2.27.0 (tried latest 22.28.0 - caused problems)

Description: For approximately the last year if not longer, I have been running my MagicMirror instance successfully with custom layout regions. V2.27.0 appears to be the last release where this worked. V2.28.0 breaks this functionality. I am not sure where I found how to do this, but it was somewhere on the MagicMirror forums. Here is a snippet from my modified index.html:

  <div class="region row3 left">
    <div class="container"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="region row3 right">
    <div class="container"></div>
  </div>

In my config.js, I am able to locate modules in this by using the following:

position: "row3_left"
...
position: "row3_right"

When I updated to V2.28.0, it no longer loads and my error log indicates invalid region position.

Steps to Reproduce: Downgraded to 2.27.0 to get it working again. 2.28.0 breaks it. .

Expected Results: Custom regions in index.html should be recognized by stem like previously..

Actual Results: Multiple errors in log due to "invalid region".

Configuration: pertinent snippet above.

Additional Notes:. I am suspecting the "fix", issue #3445 is what is causing this to no longer work.

My question is, is there a better way to get custom layout functionality that I am unaware of to get my system working with the latest release? The current pre-determined layout is too restrictive and I need more layout options for my system.
