I have noticed that Power BI does not seem to be WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) because although my cartesian coordinates state that all of my slicers should be perfectly matched up, visually they do not all look evenly sized and distributed when the Visualization and Field panels are hidden or shown.

RE: Alignment Precision
This is really annoying. Even if I fix the coordinates & dimensions from the format option, the alignment does not look precise. The alignments seems off in one resolution and look fine in another. This is when I organize card visuals to look like tables, when zoomed in to 160%, it will look fine, lower than 160%, it looks odd. I hope powerbi team will fix this issue ASAP
RE: Alignment Precision
Agree. I specify x/y coordinates and sizes and the alignment is not matching as expected. It should be a given that this renders properly.
RE: Alignment Precision
I am glad this idea is posted. This does need urgent attention. It is so frustrating to not have the right alignments appear on the reports despite all efforts to do so in PBI desktop where everything looks perfect but it gets messy after publishing the report. Appreciate a quick fixed by Microsoft.
RE: Alignment Precision
I specify X, Y, Width, and Height try try and precisely position cards on a report and Power BI is resizing cards and moving them such that it is not possible to precisely position them. Kind of strange this has been an open issue for so long.
RE: Alignment Precision
The visuals say they are snapping to each other but even with the same y positioning and same thickness my visuals with boarders still do not line up.
RE: Alignment Precision
Incredibly frustrating... Dragging visual alignments to match, realizing the coordinates are then slightly off, playing with it to get the visual perfect... Then it's messed up again when you reopen the program.

RE: Alignment Precision
The lack of WYSIWYG is very annoying, limiting and time consuming. The Power BI client tables do not fit the same when exported to My Workspace, nor does My Workspace export to PowerPoint fit the same. I have tried changing fonts but this table sizing is not consistent. The result is wasted time to test and retest sizing, fit and tweaking visual appearance.
