Screen Shrinking

Hi everyone.

Can someone help me or guide me why my powerapps keeps on distorting when filling-out my custom canvas form (click Next)? I did not turn-off Scale to fit, because my Print Screen (Portrait) keeps on getting on the left side of the screen.

Why is scale to fit on?

Are your controls width and height based on a ratio of the parent width and height?

Are you using responsive containers?

I would first turn off Scale to fit and test the app to see if that fixes it,

yes, im using responsive containers, controls are parent.width/height

my problem with turning off "Scale to fit" is the Print Screen being on the left side and not centered.

But does it display properly if scale to fit is off?

There are other ways to center the Print screen

The approach is dependent on the containers in the screen.

Here I placed a container into a responsive container. The containers size is set based on the responsive container and the button x position is set to

(Parent.Width - Self.Width) / 2

Your approach may be slightly different

i found the culprit, the attachment control somewhat making it shrink, when i removed it looks fine.
