Power Apps customized SP form requires scrolling on lower resolutions since new list experience

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 383
I have a SharePoint form customized in Power Apps that has been running without issue in my environment for the past year. This morning the new list experience got pushed out to my SharePoint tenant, and since then the way the form is displayed requires excessive scrolling. This has never been an issue on any resolutions until today, and is reproducible across multiple machines/browsers/users etc. I can also reproduce it across all of the Power Apps customized SharePoint forms in our environment, not just this one. No updates have been pushed to these forms in several weeks, and the only thing that changed is the new list experience was pushed by Microsoft.
 
With the new list look/feel the form now is a pop up in the middle of the screen, as opposed to the flyout before. Which I'd be completely fine with as long I didn't have this issue with the scrolling.
 
The only workaround I've been able to come with is have the users lower the zoom in their browser to 75%. When that is done it displays everything, but that's not something they are happy about and not a long term solution.
 
For example, this is how it looks now on a display with 1920x1080 resolution. It requires scrolling over to the right in order to see the additional fields:
 
On another display with the resolution at 2560x1440, it displays correctly:
 
I'd welcome any ideas on how I can get rid of this scrolling and have it render correctly no matter the resolution of the client machine.

    HI
     
    It really depends on what you mean. Are you saying that its fine if the drop downs or combo boxes or inputs are super tiny?
     
    You would have to put dynamic sizing in each control, that would react based the width of the Parent App Container.
     
    You would also have to put code into the X and Y properties of most of the controls so that they would move closer together etc.
     
    Also, you have to take into account that based on how small or large, you won't be able to stop it all the time.

    I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is how the new list experience is introducing an issue that wasn't present before, and how I can work around it. This seems like a fairly big issue that would be impacting a lot of customers, so I'm surprised that I've been unable to find more reports of it. I can't imagine everyone encountering this is having to go in and edit the X and Y of every control and that they're ok with it. 

    When loading a preview of the form from the power apps studio, it correctly shows the entire form without the need for horizontal scrolling. But when loading it through SharePoint, the window is now condensed and requires scrolling. I guess I need to open a case with MS.

    As I suspected it looks like this is starting to impact more people as it rolls out.
