UICollectionView using UICollectionViewFlowLayout is centering and misaligning cells

Question

I'm using a standard UICollectionViewFlowLayout but it seems to do some overwork as it is centering the cells of section with one item and if the section contains 2 or 3 items, they are not distributed to fit width

How to get always the same distribution (to left) and margins (as with more than 3 items)

can you share the code for your collection view delegate and datasource functions? — kbunarjo, Mar 21 '19 at 16:29
i am returning the same size for the cells, so nothing fancy — Peter Lapisu, Mar 21 '19 at 16:42
Well you would need something fancy, namely a flow layout subclass. — matt, Mar 21 '19 at 16:57
Also are you using self sizing cells? That’s buggy. You need to show your code. — matt, Mar 21 '19 at 16:59

I found out what the problem was... the title text with (with the gray line separator) is also a cell that correspond to fullwidth, if this cell is together with the same sized cells i get the result described above

So the solution was to keep only the same sized image cells in one section, without the fullwidth title cell (Note: it is also better to rework the title cell into a section header in this case)
