When a view contains elements positioned outside the original view bounds and you switch the coordinate mode from "percent" to "fixed" and back, the view bounds automatically resize to encompass those out-of-bounds elements. This changes the view's dimensions.  
 ![percent to fixed](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/e/1eeb4f0983dbac054ff6b3587a73334990a41142.gif)

Or is this the intended behaviour? I notice it only seems to be an issue when elements extend beyond the right boundary - out-of-bounds elements on other sides don't cause this problem

I'm going to upvote myself. Still an issue. I use out-of-bounds elements a lot.
