One side of my screen is not responding to touch

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi!

I created a PowerApp with several screens. When I'm working on it it works just fine, but after I come back to continue working the next day, the right side of the screen is ALWAYS unresponsive. Like I try to click on it and nothing happens (I can't select any objects). The only solution I have found so far it is to duplicate the screen and then continue working in the new one, which is exactly the same (again, it is a duplicate) but it has the whole screen working. Next day, the new screen shows the same problem and I need to duplicate it again...

Any ideas on how to solve this?

    There isn't 😞 I looked for one but I didn't find any. And anyways, I suppose if this was the issue then duplicating the screen wouldn't work! But what I am doing now is that I just take the "frozen" screen, duplicate it and then work as usual on the duplicated one, which is an exact copy of the "frozen" one, but but some reason it is "unfrozen".

    Hi

    The issue of the right side of the screen being unresponsive in PowerApps could be due to a technical issue or a bug in the app. It's recommended to check for any updates to the app and to clear the cache and cookies in the browser to see if that resolves the issue.

     

    Try using a different browser to access the Power Apps editor. Sometimes, certain browsers may have compatibility issues that can affect the responsiveness of the editor. Switching to a different browser can help determine if the issue is specific to a particular browser.

     

    Another solution is to isolate the issue by creating a new screen and copying the elements from the unresponsive screen to the new screen. This can help determine if the issue is with the screen itself or with the app as a whole.

     

    Review the properties of your screens and objects within the unresponsive area. Make sure there are no conflicting or incorrect properties set that might be causing the issue. Double-check any custom formulas or behaviors that might be impacting the responsiveness of the objects on that side of the screen.

     

    It's worth noting that there are other solutions to screen navigation issues in PowerApps, such as using the Navigate function to navigate between screens or using the Back function to return to the previous screen.

    Thanks!

    Create new app and create same screen as old app and copy all controls and code in new app.
    And use new app.
