Hi Amy, Just a thought, but what happens if you take width="100%" off of the tile list, or set the width and columnWidth to explicit values? Does the extra space still show up? And, did you try Alex's suggestion to add paddingRight="0" to the tile list? Because of the bindings and itemRenderers, its not possible to fiddle with your example directly. Oh, and you might want to take out the extra period on the right side of the screenshot link. :)
