hi !
can someone please tell me how to get dorico to stop doing this to my empty bars ?
thank you !
When you remove rests, Dorico has nothing to use for calculating spacing.
If you never want to see bar rests in empty bars, in this layout, see here for a one-stop-quick-fix (although in your project, you’ll need to restore the rests by finding the last note/rest before the empty section, and deactivating Ends voice in the Properties panel)

Invoke the caret at the start of the 2nd time, shift-B, rest, enter. Does it solve it?

Try the same procedure on the semibreve / whole note in that bar. Or, post the project here – it’s hard to determine this stuff definitively from screenshots alone.
