Mashboard column size

I created a mashboard with 9 windows, 3 rows by 3 columns. I can set the first column to any size but if I want to fit in another window I get an error message, "There was an error while loading the SalesDB canvas". For instance, if I make the first column "width=50" then I am not able to set the second column to any size.

The column widths available on the canvas are 33%, 50%, 66% and 100%. 
 
If you specify a width greater than 33% (one column) and this is fixed in stone, you need to skip a column for that row when setting up the mashcanvas. The column identifiers are a zero-based index when used in the global canvas configuration. So if a portlet needs more than one column, the next portlet needs to allow for that. 
 
Example: 
 
Portlet 1: Width 66% / Column 0 
Portlet 2: Width 33% / Column 2

You also want to be careful when building out your rows that the combined widths of all portlets for that row does not exceed 100. 
 
Good Luck!
