Issues with Qlik Variable Input object.

[stascher]

Hello,

We have been successfully using the old Variable object that I believe we obtained from Qlik Branch/Garden/Sandbox quite some time ago. We recently decided to replace instances of that object with the Variable Input object found in the Qlik Dashboard Bundle on the assumption that this one is "officially supported" by Qlik and that would be safer to use in the long run. 

However, we have discovered that in "button" mode, some of our button labels are being truncated where they weren't with the old variable object. Also, in "input box" mode, the right side of the input box extends beyond the edge of the object; again, this didn't happen with the old variable object. 

Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Figured it out.  The people doing the work of replacing the old variable objects with the Qlik variable objects were using the "convert to" option instead of the "replace with" option. Apparently when you do this and the original object is configured for "Qlik" style, the Qlik version of variable doesn't properly convert the styling thus resulting in the odd behavior.
