Hello. I have a screen, with a flexbox root container. At the top, there is a header label, and a flex repeater. Below that, there is a percentage coordinate container. When I place an element into the coordinate container, and click it to resize, it does not place the resizing box around the element, but rather somewhat above it. It's still functional, just really annoying to use. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/c/8ceba9c00d4be948262ba762d27b7f36ac439d58.png) The height of this difference seems to be determined by how tall the stuff above the coordinate container is. When I widened the page, so that the header was one line instead of two, the box got closer to the image. The issue also exists when putting other components inside the container, eg I tried placing an embedded view component inside. > **System Info** > > Windows 10 > Ignition 8.1.38 > Perspective 2.1.38 ---

Not sure but possibly related to this: > [@\[BUG\] Vision: Selected component moves to mouse clicked coordinates sporadically](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-vision-selected-component-moves-to-mouse-clicked-coordinates-sporadically/30203): > > This has been a long term frustration for me and a colleague of mine since first starting to use Ignition 3 years ago. I haven’t yet checked to see if it happens in v8, but certainly all versions of 7.7+ that i’ve tried, including 7.9.12. Edit: happens in Windows 7, 10, server 2016 Sporadically, but not uncommonly, after editing a component’s properties (might include adding an event handler script, binding expression, etc.) and then clicking on another area of the Window design area to deselec… ---

I think it's unlikely, that is vision, compared to perspective which is what I am using. However, there may be some shared code. ---
