As a long-time Power BI user, I find it incredibly frustrating that visuals in Power BI Desktop do not fully utilize the available canvas space and that font sizes do not scale automatically with visual resizing.
Currently:
- The canvas has arbitrary boundaries (like the dotted line) that restrict how far visuals can be expanded.
- Even when the canvas is enlarged, visuals can be resized but the text inside them remains the same size, unless the entire application window is resized.
- There is no responsive layout behavior, meaning visuals and text do not adapt to screen size or visual dimensions.
This makes report design unnecessarily tedious and inconsistent across devices. Focus mode is not a viable workaround for presentation or embedded scenarios.
Suggestions:
- Allow visuals to fully expand across the canvas without artificial limits.
- Implement automatic font scaling based on visual size.
- Introduce responsive layout options for visuals and text, similar to modern web design principles.
- Allow scaling per tab instead of applying to the whole application.
Power BI is a powerful tool, but these limitations significantly hinder usability and presentation quality. Please prioritize improvements in layout flexibility and text responsiveness.
