Could you figure out a way for the due date hover that there exists a buffer between the rows so that when you go to hover on a due date, it doesn't push the rows below it down? Right now hovering on an asmt pushes everything down if the category column is the longest one

The clearfix "fix" don't seem to be working, seems to cause cards to get inserted in spaces where they shouldn't, instead of clean separation:

Before:

After:

the hover toggle works, but otherwise style-wise hover needs refinements. Clearfix is still jank so needs some more work, and also code organization could be approved
