 * using [THIS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-masonry-image-gallery/) plugin
   for masonry functionality of native wp-gallery…
 * works well so far, exept for the fact that there is absolutely no preview in 
   elementor-editor when plugin is activated.
    so it just would be nice to know 
   why, and even better to get it solved 🙂
 * thanks.
 * btw: custom css of plugin is completely deactivated …

 * You are correct. When that plugin is active, the Gallery shortcode doesn’t render
   within Elementor’s editor but does correctly on the front end. When you disable
   that plugin the Gallery shortcode renders in the Elementor editor just fine.
 * The issue is that the masonry plugin adds base css even still which set’s the
   gallery wrapper to invisible. You’ll see it still takes up space in the Editor
   window and if you inspect the browser code you’ll see all the images are indeed
   there. The part of the plugin that adds another class once loaded and animates
   the gallery is missing when editing in Elementor. You might ask the plugin author
   if they can look into it.
 * The file is: jquery-masonry-image-gallery/styles/jmig-masonry-v3-animation.css
   and it applies the rule:
 * .gallery { opacity: 0; }
 * Then once loaded adds the class .jmig-gallery-loaded which applies the animations
   that reveal the images by changing the opacity value.

 * jep youre right too – already realized that. thanks.
 * but dont know why that wont render in elementor edit mode – even when correcting
   the opacity for view in elementor, the gallery wont be masonry.
    so obviously
   there is something that prevents loeding the plugin functions correctly, right?
 * but dont know what that might be … 🙂
 * not really an issue for me when building up a page, but more of that for the 
   client when editing – so the complaints on that side are not wrong at all.

 * Yes that is likely the issue. i.e. some sort of condition that must be met that
   is not happening when using Elementor’s editor. Again, mention it to the plugin
   author and if their actively improving their plugin they will likely fix it.

 * … meanwhile got an [answer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-preview-in-editor-mode-for-elementor-page-builder/)
   from the plugin author [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-preview-in-editor-mode-for-elementor-page-builder/)–
   but to be honest, that wont help at all 🙁
