Why does Tableau Server default to left-alignment, and why did a height change fix it?
Hi everyone, I’m trying to understand a simple but frustrating behavior on Tableau Server.
My dashboard was consistently stuck to the left after publishing, even though it was a fixed size (1280x1350) and 'Sheets as Tabs' was enabled. I didn't have any floating objects.
The Mystery: I randomly tried increasing the height to 1500px, published it, and it suddenly centered. Then, I changed it back to the original 1350px, re-published, and it stayed centered.
I’m glad it's fixed, but I have no idea why this worked.
- Why does this left-alignment issue happen in the first place?
- Why did toggling the height (and reverting it) fix the horizontal alignment?
Is this a known bug or some kind of rendering cache issue? Would love to hear the 'why' behind this!
