Slicer List Bug

[Pikachu-Power]

Hi all,

i have a 3x2 Slicer List (filter with 6 tiles) and when i publish it gets to 3x1 (filter with 3 tiles and the possibility to navigate right). Also when i turn on and off the Slicerheader it also gets 3x1 in Desktop. I remember we had that bug earlier before. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, @Pikachu-Power 

This has to do with the width and height of the visual object.
The layout of tiles changes with the width and height, and when there is less space available for individual tile, power bi wants to display the tiles as well as possible. For example it might change from a layout of 3x2 to 2x3, 2x2, 2x1, etc.
When we turn off slicer header, the available space for tiles increases, and when we turn on slicer header, the available space for tiles becomes less. If we turn on the slicer header or turn off the slicer header, the visual layout can be changed (3x2) when the visual width and height are at a suitable value.
I prefer to think of this change as power bi intelligence.

Hope this helps.

Hi, @Pikachu-Power 

You didn't do anything and now it's back to normal right?
Then I have some clues up, in some discussions created this month about post-update issues in the service, one of which was a possible layout change due to a 5 pixel change in default height.

ICM:261759646

issue_desc:

Power BI customers may notice their visual's layout changing, or text being truncated, as a result of a 5 pixel change in default height.

They started a discussion here:

Power BI Formatting Issue Titles / White Borders in Service

Formatting Issue Titles / White Borders in Service

As the effect of 5 pixels causes the visual height change, as I said above, the height change affects the visual layout, these 5 pixels play a key role, so the layout changes in the service, and in the desktop, as the title is closed or opened, the same causes the height change, this change in your visual just reaches the boundary of the change, so your visual layout also changes.

Hope this helps.

Yes I didn't do anything and now it's back to normal right. May because of a post-update.

I think it has to do with the responsive design

But I agree, the behavior is not consistent. For example I copied the top visual and then pasted it again which resulted in the bottom visual.
