Why do buttons randomly shrink?

[#1]

I've noticed a curious behavior on my Qlikview, seems randomly various Button Objects shrink in size    Can anyone explain why I might be seeing this?  Is this some known bug, or am I missing something fundamental here?

Thanks,

Lew

Hi, If this is not happening without any interference in the document it is odd...

but maybe when you click and interact with other objects you resize the objects...

In any case, after you build your interface you can select the objects, go to object properties -> Layout tab and uncheck 'allow move/size'

Hope it helps,

Erich

Hey,

I think there's a bug in QV11 that causes object sizes to change pretty randomly, if you selected multiple objects and resized them at the same time. I think it was fixed in SR2.

I appreciate the info.  It definitely appears to be a bug.  I have been unable to find any specific pattern to the occurances that might explain this.  It happens most often when I am working my way through data on the X-Axis of a chart utilizing a button that increments X-Axis field; while doing this other unrelated Button Objects randomly resize to small and then back to normal as I progress through the X-Axis.  This is just one of the scenarios I'm seeing this happen.

Hello Teemu,

I finally upgraded to SR2 and it did not fix the problem -- buttons objects continue to randomly become small and then restore to their normal size.  If you have  any other ideas please let me know.

Best Regards,

Also now experiencing Input Box objects randomly disappearing and reappearing

Seems SR2 actually made the problem worse.  On a positivive note, running in Webview this problem does not occur.  Has anyone else encountered this strange behavior?

This is a very annoying problem?  Does anyone know if Qlikview is addressing this?  I have to believe that it is not an isolated problem based on what I'm experiencing.

I experienced exactly the same problem with buttons suddenly shrinking to half their size. I raised it as a bug with Qlikview, but can't recall whether I actually got a response or a bug ID number from them. Will check tomorrow and see if I can find any additional information.

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for your response.  Did you happen to find any supporting information regarding this odd behavior.  From my testing I have found no consistent pattern that might shed light on why the buttons would shrink.  In fact I can hit the same button over and over again and each time I will get a different set of buttons shrinking and restoring to normal.  As noted, this behavior does not happen in WebView.

Regards,
