Filter Window Expand and Scroll Bar Overlap

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I recently updated to the April 2020 Power BI version 2.80, and I've been experiencing issues with the window expand control on the filter pane. When I use the scroll bar on the right of the canvas, it seems there is some overlap where I do not see the window expand cursor, but after clicking and scrolling, I've locked my cursor on resizing the filter pane. 

From what I can tell, there is a small sliver of pixels along the far right of the scrollbar that execute both grabbing the scrollbar and grabbing the edge of the filter pane. I know this is a minor issue, but I've accidentally grabbed onto the window expand by accident way more frequenly than can be attributed to user error.

Thanks for your support!

Hi @Anonymous, 

I'm not very clear about your issue. Would you please share some screenshots or record a video to clarify it? Do not contain any sensitive information in your screenshots or video before sharing here.

Hello Qiuyun,

Please reference the screenshots below (1, 2, 3)

3.

In 1, I am clicking where the cursor is placed--note it does not show the window expand cursor. This should click on the scroll bar and allow me to drag it up and down. However, when I click on the cursor location in 1, the cursor is changed to a window expand icon as seen in 2. At this point, both the scroll bar and the window expand are activated and I can scroll up and down, but moving my cursor left or right expands and shrinks the filter pane. As you can see in 3, this is not an active click, but a window expand state where my cursor is permanently in the window expand mode until I click elsewhere on the screen.

To test yourself, in the 2.80.5803.1061 64-bit (April 2020) version of Power BI desktop, open a blank report, set the canvas height to a height that requires scrolling (may need to set View to width of page), then place your cursor on the scroll bar to the farthest point to the right that it remains a pointer (one pixel to the left of seeing the window expand cursor) and click to scroll, then move your mouse left or right and you'll see that the window expand became active.

The only factor of my setup that I could see affecting this is that my monitor is 34" widescreen, and therefore may have horizontal stretching that is overlapping these hot zones for the cursor. Either way I experience this annoyance everytime I use Power BI now.

Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer!

Hi @Anonymous, 

Thank you very much for your detail information. 😊

Yesterday there was a new May 2020 Power BI desktop version 2.81.5831.761 released. Based on my test with this version, when we move the cursor and hover it on the most right side of scroll bar, the expand window cursor displays, then we can increase/decrease filter pane width. If we click on the scroll bar and hold on clicking then scroll up/down, it's able to scroll page up/down. 

Please update your Power BI desktop to see if you have any further concern. 🙂

Best Regards,
