    If I have bubbles on the extreme ranges of the x or y axes, the bubbles are clipped. Please show the entire bubble so that I can visualize all of my data

    Please add this feature. It's really frustrating and hard to explain to the client the rationale why it is not working well.

    I have the seem problem. It may seem to be an edge case, but in fact happens quite often if the number of observations in the scatter chart is relatively low. Which is exactly the use case in which you typically want to use a large bubble size and the clipping then looks really bad.

    Expected behaviour: the auto scaling takes into account the size of the bubble, so it will not be truncated.

    All bubbles on the outside edges of the chart get clipped. This is definitely a bug that needs to be corrected.

    Yes! This to me is a "Bug" that needs to be corrected!

    Please fix this! My normal range for my bubbles is when they are close to 0 on both Y and X axis and this cuts off the bubbles on the left side and underneath. I tried to manually adjust the axes start values but this doesn't always work or look good for each filter scenario.

    My bubbles get cut off as well when I use the "auto" axes. I have to manually input the x and y axes start and end values so they don't get cut off. Very tedious especially when filtering data...

    I am having this problem as well. I tried adjusting the start value of the axis, but then it clips the bubbles on the other end of the axis.

    While we can we set specific values for the axes, those values will not be appropriate when we apply slicers.
