Problems in the implementation of the On-Object Formatting PowerBI new feature

Hi!
I have been running into some problems while implementing the new On-Object Formatting feature in my visual.
For the formatting part it is working as expected but there are still a few details I don't get to work properly:

 

  1. Change the edit square width. For example, while using the Microsoft Clustered Column Chart, when you try to edit a text, rewritting it, the editing space change its size to a bigger rectangle so you have space to write. In my chart it is pretty tiny.Screenshot 2024-07-15 at 15.59.02.pngScreenshot 2024-07-15 at 16.06.39.png
  2. The pop-up menus that are shown when right-clicking an editable element are on top of each other and they should show by separate, as it happens, again, in the Microsoft Clustered Column Chart.Screenshot 2024-07-15 at 15.58.32.pngScreenshot 2024-07-15 at 16.09.20.png
  3. The formatting cards, when you right-click an editable element, should open automatically. According to the documentation it is dealt inside the subselection shorcuts (part of the visualOnObjectFormatting object), there you specify a Navigate type and the destination as the cardUid but still doesn't open the formatting card.Screenshot 2024-07-15 at 16.00.11.png

Thank you in advance for the helping hand. Hope we get a solution for this. 😁

HI @RaquelAlba,

Since this feature still in preview, I'd like to suggest you check the limitations list if helps:

Use on-object interaction with visuals in your report (preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
