These are two different screens in my app I have overlayed in Photoshop with guidelines to show how the right "Site" is clearly larger than the word "Production"

But why?! I this issue before using the modern buttons and the consensus was that the modern buttons were the culprit.

So I rebuilt my app from scratch in a new instance, using only the classic buttons, and the issue is the same.

Why is this happening and how can I fix it? I've copied and pasted the "Production" buttons thinking the "Site" buttons was corrupted or something to no avail.

Both buttons have identical settings:

and the buttons look correct in the editor and in the app preview

I originally had this issue with all modern controls. I was so frustrated I deleted the app, rebuilt it from scratch, and used only classic controls.

What you see above is all classic controls, nothing modern - adding to the frustration.

you said modern button, are you maybe using a modern text box? if yes did you also try to switch those with the classic ones?

Hi @mmbr1606, I did not try making width of "Site" wider to match "Production". I figured the text size shouldn't base itself on the width of itself, but I'll give it a try.

This is one small example, but it affects all text in the screen.

With this particular app, I need every pixel I can get to make sure things can fit. This kind of issue I agree is minor, but so minor it shouldn't even be an issue for a platform that poses itself as being ready for business and production to use.

hey

the only difference in the settings i can spot right now is the width property, did you already try to make it bigger?

but do be honest, does anybody notice the size difference without the helping lines?
