Some adjustments (see comments) are required to make it work better for us. Main issue is that it forces the components to be quite small by default and overwriting this requires dummy elements that force a width which isn't really better...
A Grid Lane Layout (or Masonry Layout) is similar to a Grid Layout but with the difference that for each column the gaps are filled This makes the layout nicely reponsive and we need a responsive design as th editor has usually a lot of data to configure per page. Adopt this Grid Lane Layout for the Actor and the Attribute Page
Still not ideal but better than before...

Was discussing with jetrotal a while ago how to make the editor more "responsive" without making it look like a mobile app.
What we came up with is using a Grid Lane Layout which automatically moves Tiles (I call it Card to match Kirigami) around based on the window width. So it shows more tiles per line depending on the Window/Screen Width.
The Grid Lane Layout (or Masonry Layout) itself was mostly AI generated (I added the doc comments) and I couldn't find any prior work regarding this in QML. At least it looks like it works and is only about 80 lines.
Also had to vendor the FormLayout as it hardcodes some width and padding which is inconvenient for us as this stuff was too small (and felt mobile first). As an alternative I can provide AI-generated monkey-patching of the original FormLayout but the code was so bad that I consider vendoring the cleaner way here...

For the lulz: This happens when you tell Spectacle to record a Window and then resize it while recording xD
