Formating box too small

Hi, sorry, newbie here.

I have a strange issue that any editing box for visuals is a small box that I can't move inside or see the whole panel details.

Below is an example. I cant scroll around inside the box, I can use Tab but don't know when I'm on the OK or cancel button so have to guess. It could be a laptop setting, I'm using an HP Elitebook. Makes building very difficult, ideas welcome.

Thanks Greg, would that affect the desktop version too? That's where I have the problem

@Peter_Lander Yes, the WebView2 change impacts the Desktop.

You could check the Issues forum here:

And if it is not there, then you could post it.

Thanks Greg, just checked and yes i do have webview2. I've been using powerBI for around 2 years now and had the same problem with every version. I've worked aorund it but finally had enough. I'll check if I have a pro account 

 

@Peter_Lander Yeah, that's really weird. That has to be something specific to your laptop configuration. I've never seen or heard of anything like that. Very strange.

@Peter_Lander Strange. Only thing I can think of is that you don't have WebView2 installed properly?

Reminder: WebView2 will be required for the next Power BI Desktop release | Microsoft Power BI Blog ...
