Hi All,
I am coming across a fairly annoying issue while trying to manually enter the "General" fields on certain visualizations (X Position, Y Position, Height, Width) where if I use the backspace button the clear the field, Power BI automatically reverts back to the previous setting for that field. There are also times where while typing new field settings, it adds what I am typing to the previous setting so that it creates an absurdly large number. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a way to prevent this from happening? I am currently running on the September Power BI Desktop Update but have noticed this in previous versions as well.
Below is a video describing what I am talking about:
Thanks,
Alex

The fix should be included in the November release of PBI Desktop. Please check it later.
Best Regards,

Yes that's the way it's been - not really a bug - it seems they just don't want you to delete all numbers and leave the field blank.
Gets a bit annoying when you are in a hurry...
1) Highlight the whole number and then just type the new one without deleting the old one!
or
2) Go with backspace until you reach the first number - then type new number - then go back and delete the first digit you left from the old number!
I'll grant you its annoying but I guess I've adapted - looking for other major things that we need
just look at the backlog in the ideas and issues => which is where you could actually bring to their attention!
