Description

Hello,
I don't understand why I can't expand the Widgets boards to full screen or have third column of widgets when the news feed is disabled. Two columns may be not enough to display all widgets that user pinned to the board.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Open Widgets board
  2. Disable News feed in board settings
Expected behavior

More customizable size of Widgets board

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Widgets board implementation and reviewing how the News feed setting affects its layout; confirm the requirements for a third column and full-screen sizing. Done means the board supports the requested customization when the News feed is disabled, with coverage for the described steps.
