Certain section of all screens within my PowerApp are not clickable

Hi, 

So I have a working app which has been in Production for a few weeks now. One thing that I noticed was that on one of the screens, I had a combo box within a form datacard which wasnt clickable. I did the following to come to the conclusion that it wasnt specific to that data card or to that screen for that matter:

1. I rearranged the fields within the form but the problem persisted with whichever field was in that specific area of the screen

2. I rearranged the form to be in the front just to be sure there was nothing hiding the datacard in the area where I wasnt able to click

3. I even created a new form and replaced the existing one to check if there was something wrong with the current form

4. Lastly, I added a new blank screen. Added 2 buttons to the screen, one covering the problematic area and one outside of it. The issue still persisted. 

 

Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this error? There is no way I can recreate the entire app as it is in Production (I mean I can do it but that would be far from ideal). Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    about this non clickable element, is there a formula in the "DisplayMode" property ?

    Yup, checked all of this. So as weird it may sound, I tested my app on another laptop and it worked fine. Then after that, I figured out I wasn't able to click on anything in that "problematic" area of the screen, so weird....

    Hi @PowerAddict ,

    Could you please share a bit more about the form that you mentioned? Is it a Edit form or a Display form?

    Dp you mean that the issue is related to the  "problematic" area of your PC's screen rather than app itself?

    Have you solved your problem?

     

    Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side (ComboBox within a Edit form), and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

     

    Please check if you have set the DisplayMode property of the ComboBox within the Certain Issue data card to following:

    DisplayMode.Edit

    Also please consider turn off the "Improved app rendering (final validation)" option within Advanced settings of App settings of your app, re-publish your app, check if the issue is fixed.

     

    If you have solved your problem, please consider go ahead to click "Accept as Solution" to identify this thread has been solved.

     

    Best regards,

    Tried all of this but still no resolution. I accessed the app on a different laptop and it works fine, so it is probably a screen issue with my laptop, apologies for the red flag
