As you can see below, the PaddingLeft setting is ignored in view mode for a text input.

    Hi @v-monli-msft

    Are you sure the text input is in View DisplayMode and not Edit?

    The setting works in edit but not in view mode, that is the problem.

    Hi @Meneghino,

     

    In View mode, input controls such as Text inputDrop downDate Picker will only display the text value and will not render any interactive elements or decorations. This makes them suitable to be displayed in Forms or as readable output.

    I understand, but there is a bug. There is the following bug:

    • Text input left padding not working in view mode

    This is a bug, I have a screenshot in a previous post.

    Please report this bug.

    Many thanks.

    I've passed this information to the owner of that control. I agree that it seems wrong to have the design properties not being honored in the view mode (especially since the top/bottom padding is working correctly on that mode). It should be fixed in an upcoming release.

    Just to update this thread, the fix for the text input padding has been released on the studio version 2.0.71x.

    January 2025 and this is an issue in Published apps but displays correctly in Edit Mode. Some might say it's worse.
