New Card Visual Limited Text from Field

Hello.  I'm using the New Card Visual for a Tooltip that displays text from a table field.  The issue I'm having - I can get the field text to display, but I only get about 30% of it.  I've tried different layouts (grid, single column, single row) but cannot seem to get more text to appear.  I've tried to see if there is a divider that I can grab to expand, but doesn't seem to be.  The pictue shows the text getting cut off with ... Any suggestions?

I'm having almost the same issue as @Eric_Ritter - using the new card visual (mine is on a main page, rather than a tooltip). However I size the visual, and whichever formatting options I try, the text only fills about half of the visual and then stops. There is more text in the field. Unfortunately, I can't use the workaround of using a text box instead because I need to put a filter on each visual and, as far as I can see, selecting a text box doesn't bring up the "Filters on this visual" part of the filter pane.

 

Is this a bug with the new card visual? Has anyone else had this problem or found a way to fix it, or any other workarounds? I know I could use a table but I've not found a way to lose the column headers so have to make the text white, leaving space at the top - so to then have the border in a sensible place requires adding another shape, while making turning off the border and background of the table... Any help would be much appreciated!

I ended up needing to use the text box.  I got around the limitation on filter visuals by creating a specific field that was unrelated to anything else and did a filter at the page level.  Not perfect, but it works.

Thank you for your reply, good thinking on your workaround (I hadn't realised that I wouldn't get a notification of replies!).

 

I need to have multiple text boxes/cards on the same page with different text in each, did you find a way around that or does your report have one text box per page?

I have 3 different text boxes on my report page.  Each has a custom value and set of filters (visual level).  Hope this helps.

@Daniel29195 ..  Completely forgot that I could add a fileld to a text box.  Thank you.  Getting back into using PBI after a 2 year absence - amazing what I have forgotten.
