Visuals Moving Automatically

[Anonymous]

Hey, I'm having an annoying problem where my visuals are moving of their own accord. I have several buttons, graphs etc that I have placed very carefully, ensuring that their edges are perfectly aligned to the pixel, as to prevent any awkward white gaps or overlaps. I did this using the 'General' tab on the visual editor, which allows for pixel adjustments. Howver, I have noticed that sometimes when I open Power BI, my visuals may have moved by one or two pixels in any given direction, and this can leave a small white line. This obviously isn't an issue that cripples my reports, but it's extremely annoying and is becoming one of my biggest pet peeves. Does anyone know if there is some setting I've clicked, or if this is a bug?

I'm running PBI version 2.79.5768.1082 64-bit (March 2020)

Is this all in the Desktop or are you seeing this when you publish to the Service?

It is happening in the Desktop, and it will retain the changes when I publish to the Service, so the visuals will also be off there.

I have just tried a little bit to reproduce the issue, with no success. It is a more or less random process, but I think it only happens after my report is closed and reopened.

Thanks @v-chuncz-msft !

Reena from Microsoft got in contact with me, and showed me how to use the "Lock objects" button. I had seen this feature but hadn't used it. The checkbox on my 'Lock objects' was unchecked, so I expect that this was the source of the problem.
