Syncfusion Blazor chart getting clipped when a scrollbar appears
Hi all,
I'm running into a frustrating issue with Syncfusion Blazor charts. Sometimes it renders fine but often times it gets clipped. Also, when I resize the browser window using the maximize/restore button, or when I move the browser window from my laptop screen to an external monitor (or vice versa), the chart gets clipped and is not fully visible.
- See it in action in the attached screen recording. As you can see the Hour Ending 24 is visible for a split of a second and then gets clipped out.
- The chart is inside a simple flex column layout with `Width="100%"` and a fixed `Height`.
- The issue is reproducible as is. Also it can be seen when maximizing/restoring the browser or dragging it between screens.
Q1. What is causing this?
Q2. Is there a CSS/layout trick or Syncfusion setting I’m missing to make the chart always render correctly?
I’ve attached a screen recording and the full code below so you can reproduce the problem.
Thanks for your help in resolving this issue!

Hi Ashish Khanal,
Greetings from Syncfusion.
The chart clipping issue occurs because the X-axis labels (especially the last one, "24") require additional space beyond the default chart plot area. When multiple charts are rendered in a flex column layout, the margin calculation doesn't account for the full label width properly during the initial render cycle.
For this cause Increase Chart Margin
<ChartMargin Right="25" />Sample : https://blazorplayground.syncfusion.com/htBRXpMeTyOJIhDh
Why This Works:
Label Overflow Space — The right margin provides a buffer zone where axis labels can extend beyond the plot area without being clipped by the SVG viewport boundary
Dynamic Label Sizing — The last X-axis label requires more horizontal space than typical labels. A margin of 25px (vs. the default 10px) gives sufficient clearance for labels to render completely
Multiple Chart Layouts — In flex column layouts with multiple charts, the larger margin ensures consistent rendering across all charts, even before full DOM layout stabilization
Kindly revert us if you have any further concerns.

Hi Karthick,
Your AI generated response is not a good solution, I've already tried it and there are issues with it. So please take a different approach.
Please forward this to a Senior Engineer on the team. This looks like a bug on the Syncfusion Chart control.
The rendering is fine when the browser doesn't introduce a scroll bar.
But the margin is squished (the gap between 24 and end of the chart) and the chart overflows when browser introduces a scroll bar. This appears to be a bug. I expect this to be handled by Syncfusion library. If not provide a good workaround.
Even if I provide a large margin as a workaround for this bug, the experience is not good when moving the window across different screens because it provided an inconsistent experience.
Like it'll show properly in one screen with sufficient gap (between 24 and end of the chart) like this:
But that same gap is squished when moving to another screen, which is not a good UX.
Is a better solution to re-render the chart when it gets the scrollbar? If not, what could be a better solution?
Thank you for your help!
Ashish,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
We have reviewed the reported scenario and identified it as a bug. A defect has been logged for the issue titled “Prevent Chart Clipping When a Scroll Bar Appears”. The fix for this issue will be included in our weekly patch release, which is scheduled to be rolled out on 28th April 2026.
Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Hi Ashish Khanal,
We have reviewed the reported behavior and identified the root cause of the chart clipping issue.
Root Cause
In the reported scenario, the chart width is configured as Width="100%". When a percentage value is used, the chart dimensions are calculated based on the size of its parent container (or fall back to the chart’s default size if the parent size is not explicitly defined).
If the parent container does not have a defined width, the chart cannot accurately calculate its layout. As a result, the rendered chart may extend beyond the calculated bounds, which leads to visual clipping—especially near the chart edges. Additionally, the chart component applies overflow: hidden by default, so any content exceeding the computed size is clipped.
The following approaches resolve the issue because they ensure sufficient layout space for the chart to render correctly:
Case 1: Allowing Chart Overflow
|
.e-chart { overflow: visible !important; } |
This allows the chart’s SVG elements to render fully, even if they extend slightly beyond the computed container size, thereby preventing clipping.
Case 2: Defining the Parent Container Width
|
.test-chart { width: 800px; } |
By explicitly specifying the parent container width, the chart’s 100% width can be calculated correctly, ensuring proper rendering without clipping.
Recommendation
When using percentage‑based dimensions (Width="100%") for the chart, we recommend defining an explicit size for the parent container. This allows the chart to calculate its layout accurately and avoids clipping issues.
Please let us know if you need assistance applying this solution across your application.

Thank you for your responses so far, but the suggested workarounds (increasing chart margin, setting explicit parent width, or allowing overflow) do not address the root problem in a professional or production-ready way.
Issue:
• The clipping issue occurs when there are two or more charts on the page (in a flex column layout)
• The problem is not solved by removing width: 100% in the chart or by not setting any width on the parent container. The issue persists even with no explicit width set.
• Setting a fixed pixel width on the parent container is not a real solution for responsive layouts, especially in modern web apps where the layout must adapt to different screen sizes and devices.
• Allowing overflow: visible is not acceptable, as it causes the chart to bleed outside its container, breaking the intended layout and potentially overlapping other UI elements.
• The issue is quickly visible when moving the browser window between screens with different DPIs or when a scrollbar appears/disappears. The chart’s rightmost content (e.g., the last X-axis label) gets clipped or squished inconsistently.
• This doesn't appear to be a CSS/layout mistake on the application side. The same layout works fine with a single chart, but fails with two charts, which strongly suggests a bug in the Syncfusion chart’s internal resize/layout logic.
Request:
• Please escalate this to a senior engineer or product owner who can address the underlying bug in the chart’s layout calculation.
• The component should detect container size changes (including scrollbar appearance and DPI changes) and re-render or recalculate layout as needed, just like other modern charting libraries.
• If a fix is already planned, please provide a timeline and a reference to the public issue/defect tracker.
Thank you.
Even with EnableAdaptiveRendering="true" set in both charts, the issue persists.
See screen recording to see it in action.
Everything looks good with just 1 chart, but when second chart is in the page, both get clipped. It looks like a bug in the chart control.

Hi Ashish,
Thanks for your patience while we investigated this further.
After a deeper look at the framework level, here's what's actually happening and why it shows up specifically when multiple charts are involved.
What's causing it
When Width="100%" is used, the chart measures its parent container's width at render time and uses that to compute the SVG layout. The problem is that certain browser-level layout shifts — particularly scrollbar appearance or disappearance — change the parent container's width without triggering a Blazor re-render cycle.
So what happens is:
- The scrollbar appears (or disappears), shrinking (or expanding) the available width
- Blazor doesn't know about it — no lifecycle event fires
- The chart keeps rendering with the width it measured earlier
- Because the SVG container has overflow: hidden by default, anything that slightly exceeds the computed bounds gets clipped — axis labels, last tick marks, plot edges
This is why a single chart tends to look fine. With multiple charts stacked in a flex column, each chart measures its parent at a slightly different point during layout, making the mismatch more likely to surface.
Unfortunately, Blazor doesn't expose a built-in hook that fires when scrollbar transitions affect layout, so the chart has no way to automatically detect and correct this on its own.
Workarounds
There are two solid options depending on your layout requirements:
Option 1 — Give the parent container an explicit width
.chart-container {
width: 700px;
}
<div class="chart-container">
<SfChart Width="100%">
...
</SfChart>
</div>
With a fixed pixel width on the parent, the chart always resolves 100% to a known value — no stale measurements, no clipping.
Option 2 — Allow the SVG to overflow visually
.e-chart {
overflow: visible !important;
}
This lets axis labels and plot edges render fully even when there's a minor mismatch between the measured and actual container width. It's a lighter touch if you'd prefer not to change your layout structure.
Live examples for both:
- Option 1: https://blazorplayground.syncfusion.com/LDLdZosVdZveirqp
- Option 2: https://blazorplayground.syncfusion.com/htVdZIMVnZPWzYLc
Please let us know if have any concerns.
Hi Syncfusion Team,
I want to be absolutely clear: the repeated suggestions to use fixed pixel widths, `overflow: visible`, or arbitrary margin tweaks are not acceptable solutions for a production application in 2026. These are hacky workarounds that break responsive design and degrade the user experience.
Also, I want to clarify a previous point: the issue is not limited to multiple charts. If the chart height is increased and a scrollbar appears—even with a single chart—the clipping problem shows up immediately. My earlier comment about it working with one chart was a misunderstanding on my part.
I’ve explained this multiple times, but the responses keep circling back to the same workarounds. This is frustrating as a paying customer.
If you need to use JavaScript interop to detect container size changes or re-render the chart when scrollbars appear/disappear, then that’s what should be done. It’s not my job to hack around these limitations for your flagship control.
Please escalate this to your engineering team and provide a real fix or a proper workaround that doesn’t compromise responsive design or user experience.
Thank you.
Hi Ashish,
Thank you for your patience.
We have reproduced the reported behavior in a simplified application outside of the Syncfusion Chart component as well.
At the moment, we are actively analyzing this at the framework level to identify the root cause and evaluate a proper fix for this case.
We will continue our investigation and provide you with a detailed update within two working days.
Hi Ashish,
Thank you for your detailed follow-ups
After deeper analysis, here is the root cause and a practical fix that does not break responsiveness:
Root Cause
The issue occurs because the chart is rendered inside a flex container (display: flex; flex-direction: column) with Width="100%", and:
• The parent container size is not fully stabilized at the time of initial render
• Blazor renders the chart before layout + scrollbar adjustments are finalized
• The Syncfusion chart computes its SVG bounds only once during initial render
• When layout changes afterward (scrollbar appears, DPI change, screen move):
• Triggering chart refresh on container resize (including ResizeObserver-based approaches) does not resolve this issue.
Why “Hour Ending 24” Gets Clipped
1. Initial render → chart calculates correct width
2. Layout settles → scrollbar appears → container width shrinks
3. Chart does not recalculate its layout
4. SVG still clips based on bounds (overflow: hidden)
5. The last label (HE 24) falls outside → gets cut off
Proper Fix :
The issue is not with Syncfusion alone — it's a well-known flexbox sizing behavior.
Stabilize the flex item sizing
Add min-width: 0 to the chart container:
.test-chart {
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
min-width: 0;
}No other hacks are required.
Why This Works
In flexbox:
• Flex children have a default min-width: auto
• This prevents them from shrinking properly when the container size changes
• When scrollbars appear, the browser tries to shrink the layout, but the chart container resists it
• This results in mismatched width calculation vs actual render space
min-width: 0;
Why This Is the Correct Approach
• Works with 100% width (fully responsive)
• No fixed pixel widths
• No overflow hacks
• No artificial margins
• Handles:
• Scrollbar appearance/disappearance
• Window resize
• DPI/screen changes
• Multiple stacked charts

Please try this update in your existing layout — it should resolve the clipping consistently across all scenarios you described.
Let us know if you still see edge cases after applying this.
Hi Karthick,
Thank you for your response, but you are still focusing on the wrong thing—min-width is not the solution.
After more testing, I want to clarify the actual root cause and solution for the chart clipping issue in a flex column layout:
Key Findings
• Setting min-width: 0 on the container (e.g., .test-chart { min-width: 0; }) does NOT resolve the clipping issue when a scrollbar appears.
• The real fix is to set the height on the container div (e.g., .test-chart { height: 500px; }) and NOT on the <SfChart> component itself.
• If you set Height="500px" on <SfChart> but do not set a height on the parent container, the chart will still get clipped when a scrollbar appears, regardless of min-width: 0.
• If you set the height on the container div and remove the Height property from <SfChart>, the chart renders correctly and responsively, and the clipping issue is resolved.
Why Does This Work?
I am not sure why setting the height on the container resolves the issue. Is this required by <SfChart> to measure and render itself correctly? If so, please clarify and update the documentation.
The Real Solution
Note:
Do not set Height="500px" on <SfChart>. Let the container control the height.
Summary
• The solution is to set the height on the container div, not on the chart component.
• The min-width: 0 suggestion is not relevant to this specific issue.
• Please update your documentation and support guidance to reflect this, as it will help others avoid unnecessary troubleshooting.
Thank you.
Full source code with Solution
Ashish,
Thank you for the detailed follow-up and for sharing your findings.
We appreciate the additional testing and clarification. Based on the behavior you described, we understand that in this scenario the issue is resolved by setting the height on the parent container rather than setting the Height property on the <SfChart> component itself. We also understand that applying min-width: 0 does not address this specific clipping behavior when a scrollbar appears.
An explanation is very helpful, especially the distinction between:
- setting height on the container element, and
- setting Height directly on the chart component
We will consider this into account and include this guidance in our knowledge base / documentation so that it can help other users facing a similar layout scenario.
