Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have been developing this app for a few weeks, and it has been working just fine both in "developer mode" and "live mode".

However, today out of nowhere, when i refreshed the live mode app, the screen completely bugged out.

The weird thing is, the app is completely fine in the "developer mode" but the issue appears when i open it in "live mode".

I am going to leave some images on attachment showing the screen in both modes.

I am well used to solve power app problems concerning formula syntax, run time errors or delegation warning.

However this one is new because apparently there is nothing wrong with the App code or connectors.

This is the 4th App i am building and never before have i encounter such a weird bug, Please Help!

*UPDATE*

So i've been experimenting a lot with the app and finally could isolate the problem!

In context, my app have a lot of labels and other controls which i have to specify a certain width for display reasons.
I could just hard code every single one of them, but what i found easier was to just hard code only one of them and for the rest i just referenced that first label width ("FirstLabel.Width").

However, for some reason, in the live mode of the app this formula was resulting in a blank value, making every control that has it in its width property all messed up.

I did not find any real fix to that, as in, make the live mode app return the real value of "FirstLabel.Width".

So instead i just created a variable (ex: "varWidth" ) that has the value i want and replaced it to every label.

The issue is finally fixed, but what worries me is that this problem didn’t exist until a few days ago, and suddenly it appeared. I wonder if I should be concerned about similar issues in the future, where my already working apps might have this "invisible problems" that require me 1-2 full days to debug.

Hope this thread can be useful to anyone that come across this type of problem!
