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

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

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.

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.
