Rich Text Width not correct after publishing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 244

I'm having a really strange issue with the rich text editor in a canvas app. I have several multiple line of text fields, all enhanced rich text in a SharePoint list. In the Canvas app, I removed the default text box, replaced with rich text editors, updated all the properties and it works perfectly in the development environment. 

 

Once I publish the app, the rich text editors are TINY. Their width property was set to Parent.Width - 60 which is the default width for all fields in a default card. 
Here is the development environment:

And here is the published Canvas app:

I've done this with custom SharePoint list forms with no problems at all. This is the first time I've used the RTE in a Canvas App. 
Because the app is not going to be used on a mobile device but on laptops, I had to reduce the default font size in all fields from 21/24 to 10.5. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how to resolve it?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @CCJones !  I’m not going to be any help whatsoever but I want you to know that you’re not going crazy!  This morning my RTE was fine and then KAPOW!  BANG!  SPLATT! around noon today. I spent hours trying to figure out and finally just replaced them with an HTML box. #notjustyou

    I turned on Lock Aspect Ratio and the Rich Text Editors now are the correct size!
