Buttons in different position on different computer screens

Hi,

I am having an issue with the position of buttons on different screens, for example, a laptop compared to a 32" monitor, compared to a 24" monitor. 

 

Here are the examples

32" screen

I have placed the "read more >>>" button over the top of a text box.

 

Is there a solution for this? Do buttons always move depending on the screen size?

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

John

I have no "position" menu. What version of Power BI are you using?

 

Hi @johnmelbourne ,

 

 It's currently in preview starting with the Power BI Desktop November 2021 release.

Go to File > Options and settings > Options > Preview features > New Format pane.

 

Best Regards,
Liang

I don't have the same menus as you and mine doesn't have a "position". 

I am using Dec2021 version.

What are you using to get this menu?

Hi @johnmelbourne 

 

Can you check that both of the options in the snippet below are turned on for your button?

Thanks for the reply Theo but it made no difference.

Buttons move around depnding on screen size, that is 24", 32" laptop 14" etc.

😞

@johnmelbourne and you have the position fixed at 0 / 0?  That's so weird! Sorry I couldn't help further!
