Description
**Describe the bug**
It appears the width calculation of each item breaks if the layout gives the masonry smaller available space, and gives it back afterwards. I've detected this with animations using framer-motion, see sandbox below. The masonry container appears to get the correct width. Also, triggering a rerender seems to fix the issue, but i don't know when to rerender in order to fix that.
**To Reproduce**
Hover over the nav bar, in order for it to grow. Then hover away and the masonry stays in the shrunk state

**Expected behavior**
The layout should adapt to wrapped/unwrapped text and calculate the width accordingly.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the linked CodeSandbox and reproducing the nav hover resize with the masonry container. Trace how the layout responds when available width shrinks and expands; done means wrapped and unwrapped text produce the correct item widths without requiring an unrelated rerender.
