page layout xml of pagebuilder override the layout set by theme

[antoniocarboni]

Preconditions and environment

Magento 2.4.6-p3 with Page Builder active

Steps to reproduce

• Create a custom theme
• Create a catalog_category_view.xml file in the app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<Custom_Theme>/Magento_Catalog/layout directory
• Add the following content to the file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"/>

• Add a Category description with pagebuilder
• Clean the cache
• Go to the frontend and open e.g. a category

Expected result

Change the default page layout from 2columns-left to 1column.

Actual result

The page layout of the category still remains 2 columns left

Additional information

Behavior and possible fix

The Magento_PageBuilder module sets several additional layouts to Magento in the page_layout/ folder The problem is that in addition to the layout it also sets a fixed layout to the category page with the catalog_category_view.xml file.

In my opinion this declaration is redundant or, perhaps, it is an error, because the layout declaration is already present on the catalog_category_view.xml of the Magento_Catalog module.

To resolve this issue simply remove layout="2columns-left" in the catalog_category_view file of Magento_PageBuilder as it would seem useless.

UPDATE: The issue is the same reported on this closed Issue

Hello @antoniocarboni,

Thank you for the report and collaboration!

Verified this issue on 2.4-develop. With PageBuilder enabled and given configuration added in catalog_category_view.xml file in the app/design/frontend//<Custom_Theme>/Magento_Catalog/layout directory, we were able to reproduce the issue.

Please take a look at the screenshot below: When PageBuilder is enabled the layout configuration in custom theme is ignored, and default layout is applied

If we disable the PageBuilder, the layout in custom theme is applied

Hence confirming this issue.

Thank you.
