Kudo CommanderLack of Alignment Precision
I have noticed that Power BI does not seem to be WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) because although my cartesian coordinates state that all of my slicers should be perfectly matched up, visually they do not all look evenly sized and distributed. My report users are very picky on formatting, but here is what I mean. All of these slicers have the same dimensions and are positioned parallel and symmetrically. But they do not all look 100% in parallel or symmetric:
Hi ironryan77,
Currently, specifying the X, Y position is the best choice to set the alignment of a visual to make them look tidy. I can get the output as below, however, as you said, it still exists some defect, they are not positioned parallel and symmetrically exactly.
You can submit this issue at https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and service. Appreciate for your understanding.
Best regards,

Are you using the Align Options in the Format tab (which is contextual)
ctrl+select 2 slicers (or as many as needed) and try... you can try the Distribute options...

Yes I have used this. The only workaround for this I've figured out is to temporarily change the width and coordinates and then change it back. Most of the time this fixes the visualization problem. I just wish it worked the first time.

I noticed this when I had a series of card visuals setup close together in a grid. It was not an issue for me in Desktop but would be out of alignment by one pixel here or there once deployed to Service.
