</div>

View is a Coordinate Container in Percent Mode. Default size of 1920x1080  
Place objects all around  
Add piping so it looks good.  
Go to view it in Chrome, and the piping isn't lined up with the objects.  
Go and check the CSS to try to find out why:

```python
<div class="center view-parent " style="max-height: calc(100% + 0px); max-width: calc(100% + 0px); margin: 0px;">
   <div></div>
   <div data-component="ia.container.coord" data-component-path="C.0" class="ia_container--root ia_container--primary coord-aspect-ratio aspect-horizontal view">
         <div class="no-zone" style="flex: 1 1 auto;"></div>
         <div class="inner-container" style="flex: 0 0 1893.33px;">
             <svg class="ia_piping" style="width: 1240.7px;height: 1034.86px;">
......
</div>

```

If I use dev tools to force the width and height to 1920, 1080, it all lines up beautifully.

I've also noticed after a save, it sometimes is really off.. And then if I refresh the page, it gets back to it's normal amount of off.

Anyone have any idea if there's some box I checked somewhere that's screwing it up?

Anyone know how to force it via stylesheet?

I'd really rather not have to replace all my piping with labels....

Could be this

> v8.1.43 When you have a coordinate view set to percent with the aspect ratio set to the ratio of the view's size, and you embed a coordinate container that contains pipes (e.g. screenshot) set to percent mode with no aspect ratio (uses the parent view coord container), then when the page loads in the browser, the pipes will not load with the correct size. If you slightly change the size of the browser, it will then resize the pipes correctly. @mperkins This is kind of a major …

Sounds almost identical. I’m not doing the embedded pipe view though. But otherwise the symptoms sound identical.

I’ll comment on that bug tomorrow when I get in the office. Thanks for finding it.

If you resize the browser, does it also fix it?

Yes. If I resize or refresh, it fixes itself (most of the time)

Ok.. 8.1.48 kinda fixes it. This release note caught my eye:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/2/d228627b13d81952f2ce48013ce2621ed5acc4be.png)

So I upgraded the server.. and my screen started pulsing.. it kept trying to put scrollbars on the main window, but then would immediately change sizing (was watching dev tools css) and making them go away.. rinse and repeat..

Set the root container Overflow: Hidden and that fixed it.

Piping is now staying exactly where I placed it.

Hopefully it holds and next week I can finish up all the layout adjustments and be done fighting with this.

I’m having exactly the same problem, and setting the root container’s overflow to _hidden_ fixes it. However, in my case I don’t see the scrollbar, so it’s not obvious how changing the overflow helps, but it does.
