This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing an issue where products in the backend are stretched all over the display after installing WPML and using the Flatsome theme, it might be due to additional columns added by plugins such as Yoast SEO.
Solution:
We recommend navigating to your Dashboard >> Products, then clicking the Screen Options button at the top right corner of the page. Here, you can uncheck a few columns that you don't need, such as “SEO Title”. This adjustment should help ensure that fewer columns remain, making the display look fine again.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. This issue usually happens when the Yoast SEO plugin is adding a few more columns to the product page and the size of these new items doesn't really fit the layout. You can fix this issue by going to Dashboard >> Products, clicking the Screen Options button from the top right corner of the page, and unchecking a few columns that you don't need like “SEO Title”. This way, fewer columns will remain and everything should look fine again.

Please let me know if this resolves your issue or if you need further assistance.

Thank you
