Outlining text Help tooltip (type text) in visual - General- Header icons

Text is always aligned to the right and report-users would like left aligned for better readability. Is there is reason for current behavior. Is it possible adding buttons to choose way of alignemen...

    Hi,

     

    What can i say about the solution.....it is still a workaround that can solve the issue but i would be happier if the solution (left align as default...) would be build in in stead of using workaround. I hope you understand.

    I will accept my own solution to close the issue.... 😁

Hi WillemM,

 

Thank you for your feedback, you’re correct that left alignment is typically more natural and improves readability. Currently, the Help tooltip under Header icons is a fixed UI element, and its formatting, including right alignment, can't be changed. This is intentional for simplicity and consistency, but it does limit flexibility.

Your suggestion to use left alignment or add alignment options is valid and aligns with usability standards, but customization isn’t available at this time.
For now, we recommend using the report tooltip workaround for more control, and consider submitting or upvoting this idea in the Power BI Ideas forum to help influence future updates.
