I am not sure if this is a webpack issue, vue-loader for webpack issue or just something that I am doing wrong.
When I am running npm run build to build a distribution for my Vue.js application the CSS rules applied in the dist app are in different order then in my development environment thus my CSS overrides are different and app doesn't render right...
Here is demonstration for one element:
npm run dev - proper render


UPDATE: added webpack config files

It looks like the issue is with the order in which the CSS rules are applied. In your development environment, the order is:
style
css?sourceMap
sass?sourceMap
However, in your production build, the order is:
style
css
sass
To fix this issue, you can specify the loaders in the same order for both your development and production environments. Change the loaders array in your webpack.prod.conf.js file to:
{ test: /\.scss$/, loaders: ['style', 'css?sourceMap', 'sass?sourceMap'] }
This should apply the CSS rules in the same order as in your development environment and fix the issue with the rendering of your app.
Note: Make sure to remove the css-loader and sass-loader packages from your project if you are using style-loader and css-loader to handle your CSS.
