As an example i have set my products module to display random products, 6 products in total and 6 in a row which unless I am missing something should show 6 products in total across the module space, for some reason though occasionally I get 6, sometimes 3 or 4 but most regularly only 5 products display and I cannot understand why, this has been the case since 2.0.0 stable as far as I remember. I do not use filter by category or anything similar and am using no overrides - just a vanilla module.
are there html errors on the page?
are the products in the source?
is cache turned on?
No errors, no cache turned on and all of the products are not appearing to be in the source - the example below is only showing 4 products where it is set to show 6, the next load might display 6, I might only get 3.

I currently have the cache turned on as it makes no difference either way but I turn it all off to develop and check these things - any ideas where this might be coming from?
I cannot reproduce this error.
this is NOT standard

are you using a template override?
the width is a class, and it is calculated, by dividing 100/products per row
see here
https://dev.virtuemart.net/svn/virtuemart/trunk/virtuemart/modules/mod_virtuemart_product/tmpl/default.php
Sorry, that was an override but actually nothing that is different to the vanilla module as it happens. If I take the override out it does exactly the same
vanilla module outputting 3,4,5 or 6 products.

do you have "system cache" plugin enabled?
no, no caches of any kind at all.
Any ideas where to even begin with this issue? It has me stumped.
try removing this
$output = ob_get_clean();
$cache->store($output, $key);
}
echo $output;

That just stops the page from loading the module and anything further down the page - in my case everything.
ok, I honestly dont know what the problem could be
I have gone and uninstalled all the VM component, AIO and then modules individually, made sure all the directories had gone for the modules and then installed it all again from scratch. Same problem occurs still so there must be a reason for it but I cannot see an obvious one, all of the reasons I would have thought might interfere have been eliminated such as caching etc.
It is very frustrating though as it makes an otherwise lovely looking shop look badly formatted
I have tested this on both the shop template of yootheme Cloud and the std atomic template - on both it changes between the correct number shown and less
I have exactly the same problem. I had 2.0.3 installed and there wasn't any problem with this. It happened after upgrade to 2.0.6.
