Page size on App is not as on web, and other aspect ratio issues.

[Hank_]

Hello everybody!

First of all I'd like to say that I am enthusiast about the app, and I also gave feedback on bugs one year ago when I was trying to develop for mobile purpose.

Today I changed page size on a report to fit the new company smarpthones which have 20:9 aspect ratio.

I set 1280 * 576 pixels, and because of the top bar which just shows the report name... I have less space in height. So I started to cut the height and I had always the scroll bar on the report in the app, even if the page was fitting the 20:9 screen.

I went down to 1280 * 500 and then I noticed that on mobile I had always the scroll bar, and on the desktop and web view I had the page correctly cropped (also the bottom graph was cropped).

Does anybody experience this issue? I've tied on 4 mobiles (Samsung and Sony) and I have the scroll bar even if don't needed. It annoys me because it seems that I have no clue how to set the page size 🙂

Can we set a dynamic page size in order to fit all the screens?

The three most common devices (laptops, iPads, Samsungs...) have 3 very different aspect ratio: 4*3, 16*9, 20*9.

I'm wondering also why, in page size, Microsoft give us the possibility to choose size between pixels and.... pixels? When there will be percentage added?

Is there any workaround?

Thanks

Hey

Any solution to this issue?
This bug is really bugging me and I don't seem to find any work around for this.

Hey,

I think I have found a work around to deal with the problem, the solution is to reduce the size of visuals used on the page, once the page is cropped as per the customized ratio then updating the visuals size to fit in that page removed the scroll bar in horizontal mobile view.

Hi guys!

Anybody noticed this behaviour or can repdoruce it? 

And is there a way to have a dynamic screen ratio?

Hi @Hank_ ,

After the report is created, select the View ribbon and choose Mobile layout, then add visuals to the mobile layout canvas.

refer if these can provide you a direction

Hello @v-stephen-msft . Thanks for the links, I appreciate them.

I know about portrait mobile view: I'd like to use the landscape. For 2 reasons: don't change the visuals for the "consumers", and because we use a lot of landscape horizontal graphs.

Did you noticed the behaviour I have described? I think is a kind of bug.
