Visuals change dimensions once moved
Hello,
Whenever I set the width/height dimensions for visual (especially text boxes/buttons) and try to move it, it automatically changes those dimensions into smaller. For example, I set 115/50 on a button and then move it goes to 112/48. it is very visible. How can i fix this?

THIS HAPPENS STILL IN 2024 and BY FAR it is the worse "feature" of Power BI... It is the thing that always (ALWAYS) make me curse when using this tool.
Is there anyone from Microsoft looking at this forum? OR is it just here for them to market that "look we have a community" so they can sell PBI more to clients?
RodrigoThe year is 2025 and this is still a huge design issue.
It is not fixed in the latest versions. This is insane.
Here are all the workaround i found to prevent that:

As tested with lastest version(October 2019 Update (2.74.5619.621)),
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-latest-update
It doesn't change the width/height dimensions for visual (especially text boxes/buttons) when i move it.

It is 2024 and this problem happens with me in any version, server, desktop etc.
Who from Microsoft can fix this once and for all?

Ok, so what I found, is that on the remote server (PBI is up to date), visuals once moved, change their dimensions and location to points divisible by 16. So in my mentioned case, it change to 112/48 which are both divisible by 16. It also moves in X/Y direction the same way. For coworkers, working on the same remote server, this is not happening.
On local laptop, it is all good and everything is precise by 1 point.
Any idea why this could be happening?
