Canvas Size vs Window Size

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I am new to PowerApps, but not to programming.  I have an odd issue, and hope someone can put me out of my misery.

 

The canvas which I am editing on doesn't show the full editable space off to the right, and at the bottom, of the app when its run.  If i open the published app, we have a whole area of white space below, and to the right.  

 

I get that I can manually set the position of objects using the X and Y props, but is there a way to increase the editor canvas page so that I can manage the objects graphically?

    Hi @Madrainbow 

     

    I am going to take a guess here as I do not see a picture (which would help a ton).

     

    I cannot tell if you mean the true "grey" canvas area. If so, then it sounds like a zoom issue, either between the Editor (below it is the zoom

    which is different than the browser zoom, but both can impact the editor.

     

    I would try

    1. Verify the zoom settings

    2. Verify what canvas type you have (tablet / phone etc)

    3. Is this an embedded app into another App like D365??

     

    Can you check those and also share a picture.

     


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers
