It seems like you're asking about a bug related to the dropdown positioning and scaling behavior in Power BI, particularly with custom visuals, and you’ve included images of the "Expected behavior" vs. "Current behavior." Unfortunately, I cannot view or analyze the images directly, but based on your description, it appears that the dropdown list is not scaling and positioning correctly when the browser window scaling is adjusted.

If this issue is something you're experiencing with a custom visual you're developing or using in Power BI, and if the problem is linked to how Power BI handles the layout and rendering of custom visuals, you may want to consider the following:

Possible Steps:

Raise a Bug Report: If this issue is specific to Power BI's behavior with custom visuals and not just a result of how the visual was coded, I recommend submitting a bug report to Microsoft via the Power BI Ideas or the Power BI Support portal. If you have a support plan, you can escalate it directly to Microsoft support for resolution. You can also raise an issue in the Power BI Community forums to see if other users have experienced the same problem.
- Power BI Community
- Power BI Ideas Portal
Check for Updates: Keep your Power BI and custom visuals up to date. Microsoft frequently releases updates and bug fixes for Power BI, and it's possible that this issue may have been addressed in a recent update.
Workaround: If the bug is still ongoing, implementing workarounds, such as adding custom CSS or JavaScript to the visual, may be necessary to fix the positioning and scaling issue. This may involve manipulating the position of dropdowns or using dynamic sizing and resizing logic.
Debugging & Custom Code: Double-check how the custom visual is handling the positioning and scaling of the dropdowns. You could try applying responsive design principles like using relative positioning or dynamic adjustments based on the viewport size, which might help mitigate the issue for the time being.

Expected Behavior vs. Current Behavior

Expected Behavior: This would involve the dropdown list scaling and positioning correctly relative to the parent container (i.e., the dropdown box, especially when scaling the browser window).
Current Behavior: The dropdown list appears to stay fixed in place when the window is resized or zoomed, leading to inconsistencies in positioning and scaling.

If you're looking for confirmation from others or would like a more technical explanation from the Power BI team, posting a detailed question with images on the Power BI Community forums or filing a bug report with Microsoft support would be helpful.

Let me know if you need more guidance on submitting a report or addressing this in the meantime!

Microsoft Gantt Power BI add in version 3.012 not retaining selection

Microsoft Gantt Power BI add in version 3.012 not retaining selection to show Data Labels on TOP vs default INSIDE or the RIGHT option upon opening the file it always returns to the default setting of INSIDE.

Where can I report this issue?

Let me be more specific and actually share some screen shots. The issue is with a Microsoft add in to Power BI (Gantt) version 3.012 - In the visual there is an option to adjust the location of the DATA LABEL. The default location is INSIDE the task duration on the Gantt chart visual (see screen shot 1).

When you select a different option (TOP or RIGHT) the visual updates correctly (see screen shot 2).

when you save the file and close it, then reopen it. your DATA LABEL selection is not retained. It returns to the default selection of INSIDE. I need to report this bug. I am unsure if it goes to Power BI or to another location for the Gantt add in for Power BI. If you can point me to the correct location to report a bug I would appreciate it.
