change in cross highlight for only one selection

Ive only been working in Power Bi for a day or so and im sure this is something silly i have selected somewhere but can anyone tell me why when i select a month (april) on one graph the cross filter looks one way but when i select a different month (may) the cross filter looks different (the bar narrows)

im struggling with the vocabulary to search for this effect, ive found a few images that show it but cannot seem to find the right words - anything that can point me in the right direction greatly appreciated.

Hi @DHumpage ,

It seems to be a temporary problem, what version of Power BI Desktop do you have? The version I tested is 2.95.983.0 64-bit (July 2021). Are your colleagues experiencing similar problems? If you encounter the problem again next time, you can post a new thread...

@DHumpage , I think you are talking about visual interactions. See if these can help you

Hi @DHumpage ,

Sorry that I can't reproduce your problem. Did you get the problem again later? Could you please provide some sample data (excluding sensitive data) and your visual settings in order to make troubleshooting? By the way, did you use the stacked column chart? Thank you.
