Paginated Report Builder modify properties by itself

[Lucian]

Hello,

I am new to the Power BI Report Builder and I'm struggle creating a paginated report.

After some editing and checking that the preview is ok, I have modified for the width for some columns by dragging with the mouse on left/right.

Now, for some of the columns, I see the title in design mode, but when run the report the titles are no longer visible in "Report View" but only when "Print Layout" is activated...

It seems that automatically switched the font from Arial so Seagoe UI and I have to put it back to Arial... but there is a way to make it "stay put"?

Is this a bug or a "feature"?... because is not the first time when it happens and it drives me crazy... 🙄

Kind Regards,

Lucian

It seems that I was the "lucky one" that bumped on a "rendering bug". It does not change the properties as I've initially write in the subject, after some more tests it seems to be the "display settings".

This is happening because of my display settings with scaling set to 125%.

If the scaling is 100% it seems to work as expected. Unfortunately is hard to keep 100% scaling on my laptop because the text will be to small, and the "recommended" scale is 125%. 

Microsoft Support told me that will be solved on the next release (probably Sept 2021). 🤞

Kind Regards,

Lucian

Hi @v-stephen-msft ,

Here is the initial table looks like:

After some "resizig columns" operations, for some of the columns the fond will become "Seagoe UI" instead of "Arial" and then in report preview that text will not be rendered. Only if I switch to "Print Layout" will be visible.

Basically I will see a table with some missing/blank columns, that will "magically appear" in "Print Layout".

Meanwhile I have discovered that even other text boxes will not be rendered, not just tables.

For example a simple report with a title and a textbox:

If I run the report I see only the Title, the textbox is missing

But if I switch to "Print Layout" I could see both items - Title and textbox

The problem seems to be only on my PC, but reinstalling the same version 15.6.1628.2 or even an older version 15.6.1616.6 did not help.

I have tested on another PC, but there all was ok.

Is there any way to repair my Report Builder without reinstalling the operating system? 😁

Kind Regards,

Lucian
