Dragging or moving card/text box visuals are not aligning properly

After Sep/Oct Powerbi updates, I have been seeing this strange issue with my powerbi desktop files, 2 months ago all was OK. When I try to drag/move card/text box visuals using mouse or left/right keyboard key, visuals move extraordinary right/left, so unable to align the visuals properly.

Has anyone seeing these issues with powerbi files?

@mhossain It will be something they developed recently? What computer are you using? I find some struggle more than others. Log a support ticket if it's a recent thing, and they can look at the problem for you, but otherwise I hope the workarounds help you in the meantime. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/free/ 

 

I really appreciate kudos if I helped a little. 🙂

@mhossain I often struggle to align/move visuals using mouse or left/right arrows. Try using the visual format 'general' section to give it exact x and y coordinates, and use the 'align' button in the formatting tab in ribbon:

Thanks @AllisonKennedy  for the tips.

All of the points you have mentioned are helpful, but still not sure why moving the visuals with mouse or keyboard left/right key working little strange in my latest pbix files.

@mhossain , Not observed that. Clear the cache from Options, upgrade to latest version and try

Thanks @amitchandak 

Actually already did this, but it is not solving the problem, wondering what is causing this.
