 * I have been trying for 6h to do a very simple thing, yet IMPOSSIBLE with elementor.
 * I have two kind of elements on my homepage :
 * – Images inside sections (with image widget)
    – Images as column background
 * While the images from image widgets are resized while keeping their proportions
   when going to mobile view, images set as column background are truncated on the
   top and the bottom. I found absolutely no way to make the whole image display
   on screen.
 * Here is how background image (top) look compared to image from image widget (
   bottom) :

 * Adding padding top and bottom don’t work because it adds unnecessary white blank
   space on top and bottom when resized in mobile view.
 * There is no settings in elementor to make a column fit the background image height,
   which is lacking.
 * Unless there is a way to do it, I won’t purchase pro version for my clients 🙁
