Graphs keep randomly distorting

Screenshot 2025-10-25 at 1.03.21 pm.png
Hi, I'm posting this as last resort to try to fix it. 
The graphs keep randomly distorting. 

I made sure that following setting were in place: 
- Page View is set to 'Actual Size'

- Graphs have option 'Responsive' turned off

- Snap to Grid is turned off.

This happens randomly, I can just click on something else and the graphs snap like this. It's absolutely random and I have no idea what is causing it. I have tried to restart multipl times, delete graphs and recreate them again, happens again and again.

Power BI may not display visuals exactly the same way across all devices. The overall view can vary depending on your screen resolution and the browser used. For example, a report might look one way on a laptop screen but slightly different when viewed on an external monitor, even in the same browser.

I'm building it on one laptop with one screen. It's a standard approach - work laptop, desktop power bi. The charts should not randomly distort for no reason.

Remember that neither Power BI Desktop nor Power BI Service give any rendering guarantee. If you need pixel perfect rendering you need to use Paginated Reports.

 

But - this could also be a bug. If you have a Pro license you can open a Pro ticket at https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/newsupportticket/powerbi
Otherwise you can raise an issue at https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues .

yeh I reckon it's a bug. The graphs look completely fine one minute and then I click elsewhere and suddenly the data labels are not showing above the correct chart columns and x axis values are not showing. It's absolutely bizare and I cannot fathom what can be triggering it. 
If it was incorrect from the start I would understand, but they hold shape and look like normal graph and then unexpectedly they glitch.
