Copy as image with caption: bottom of visual cut off

Submitted by on ‎03-17-2023 12:28 PM

For some visuals, the bottom of the visual is cut off when using the Copy as image with caption feature form Power BI service.

 

In the screenshot below, there are two pretty simple bar chart visuals. Both visuals are identical in every way. Same pizel dimensions, same data & measures for the axis & legend, same formatting options applied. I've reviewed every option/attribute for the two visuals in Power BI Desktop (March '23 edition) and cannot determine any difference of any kind (except for the position on the page). Below you see the two identical visuals, rendered in the Power BI service. Of course, it would be quite difficult to show that everything between the two is identical in the Desktop authoring environment; please take my word that I've checked every single thing.

However, when I click the Copy as image with caption icon on the left visual, the result is this below. Notice the y-axis labels are a different scale than what thsi visual itself displays, and, more importantly, the bottom of the visual is missing - the lower half of the 2nd column's data label is cut off and the x-axis categories and label (the years themselves and the label 'Year') are missing. When pasted into something (such as a Word doc, for example), the pasted image is identical to that displayed in the screenshot - e.g. the pasted image and caption is rendered with the errors exactly as shown in the 'popup'.

Clicking the same icon, Copy as image with caption, this time on the right visual, displays almost exactly as the visual is displayed in the report. The y-axis labels are the same as what is displayed on the report page itself, the data labels in the bottom of the columns are not cut off (this is the one difference between the visual; as rendered on the report page and how it is rendered when copied as image with caption - notice there is a data label for the lower portion in the first column, whereas in the first screenshot, showing the two side-by-side identical visuals, there is not), and the x-axis categories (the years) and the label ('Year') are displayed as expected - as they are on the visual on the report.

I cannot determine ANY difference between the left and right 'versions' of the visuals, yet they yield very different results when utilizing the copy as image with caption feature.

 

Thoughts or suggestions? If there are any clarifying questions, please do let me know.

I'm having the same issue

This issue still is persisting. From my testing - it really only appears dependent on how wide your visual is. In my case, the visual is 339H x 1371W. When my line graph is that size, the bottom of the image gets cropped.

 

If I adjust it to 339H x 867W, then this doesn't happen.

The issue is still there over 1 year. It is obvious that trying to reproduce it noone tried custom resolutions of page and visual sizes. This is probably why only microsoft can not reproduce it. Is it going to be fixed?
