Possible Gallery Bug?

[beyondthebox]

Let say I create Gallery 1 in Container 1 and put 6 controls in the gallery. When I cut the gallery from Container 1 and paste into Container 2, the X & Y of all the controls is set to 0, and the width is set to 1. BTW, none of the controls make reference to the parents height or width, or its X or Y. They all have fixed values so PowerApps has no reason to reset them.

Has anyone else noticed this and what is the process for Microsoft to investigate and fix?

Would not expect them to look into a low priority item like this tbh.

What I will say is that you can kinda work around this as the items are attempting to add 30 to each value to offset them, which if your gallery is small enough will result in an error so it instead sets them to zero and 1, but you can mostly stop it doing that by making the value a formula instead of a static value:

Width = 36

Nope, now:

Width =  0 + 36

That should stop it overwriting most values, there are still some exceptions - could you give that a try going forward? I've learnt to do this by default eventually to save time in the long run

The problem with Microsoft is every thing is low priority and many many things don't get fixed. I will give you suggestion a try but this is what Microsoft is counting on. Why should they fix something if there is a work-around. The low code approach should not be mired in crazy work-arounds.

Look, I don't disagree with you, I think there should be an easy way for standard users to submit bugs like this, but there isn't. I am only trying to help you as I have run into the same issue with copying controls all over the place and having them appear in the wrong location or with incorrect values.
