Gantt Chart misalignment on Dashboard
I've noticed that a Gantt Chart that I have displayed on my Dashboard doesn't align properly. Headline tasks get progressively more and more out of alignment on the right-hand side.
See below for a demonstration.
Any thoughts on why this would be happening?

Check the start dates for your deliverables. Probably they are somewhere in Q4 and hence the the Gantt bar is showing up towards end of Q4 (See your deliverables for "Site Establishment" and "Site Preparation". If the start dates are in Q1 then probably it is misalignment.

Thanks @Sameer Karkhanis .
What I find odd is that the Report that the Dashboard is using is formatted correctly.
Everything lines up perfectly, however when I include this report in my Dashboard, the alignment changes. Perhaps just another SS quirk?

Interesting, and yes could be SS dashboard display quirk!

Hello @Richard Heath !
I've identified the same issues on my dasboards. Did you find a solution to the problem in the meantime?

Hello @Karoly Sarkadi .
At this time, I haven't identified a solution and have just accepted that my Dashboards will always look out of alignment.
Like so many of these bugs, I'm pretty confident that SS doesn't treat these as a priority and therefore, they'll never be dealt with.
Regards,
Richard.

Thank you @Richard Heath!
I found an other topic with similar questions and a possible solution.
Publishing the Report and embedding that as a Web content to the Dashboard really works.
Hint: in the Report I hided the first three columns (attachments, comments, proofs).

I started researching this issue last week after running across the use case for the first time and lo and behold, this week it's fixed! I'm wondering if there was a bug fix released that corrected this? I've confirmed via 2 dashboards that were experiencing the same issue - perfect alignment, even on reports that have a large number of rows displaying in Gantt view.
Thanks Smartsheet!

I still see a misalignment - for our Report, displayed in a Dashboard, per the below screenshot.
Good workaround @Karoly Sarkadi - I'll give this a go, but it seems like we shouldn't have to go to this extent to resolve the issue.

I'm having the same issue on a dashboard -- only it's a Summary Field display that is the problem (see below). When I edit the widget, it aligns. There are no extra spaces in the fields. It just looks poorly. If anyone has a solution I'd love to know how to fix the display. /Pauline
