Problems with custom forms and the new SharePoint list views

Microsoft is pushing the new look for SharePoint lists, and I have an example that seems to affect customs forms size / dimensions:

As you can see, we need to scroll to see the entire windows.

I had a browser that had cached the old list layout, and that displayed the custom form correctly. But as soon as I refreshed a few times, I also got the wrong dimensions here.

I tried to republish the app, but that didn't help.

Is there a way to fix this, or is it possible to get the old view back?

    I've noticed the same issue today. Lists that have the "+ Add new item" button are affected and the scroll bars on the centralised pop-up make Power Apps customised forms unusable. Forms with the "+ New" button are unaffected and still have the fly-out window coming in from the side. Haven't found a way to choose between the two options yet or what is causing it.

      Twilko1861 actually it's getting worse now. Lists that just a couple of hours ago showed the "+ New" button, now show the "+ Add new item" button and now have this problem. Are we going to have to give up on the SharePoint list interface completely and move to canvas based Power Apps?!

    I would like to know the same. We have multiple lists with PowerApps custom forms as part as our management system and its completed messed it up!

    I did notice that if you have a higher resolution monitor (mine is 1440p) that the forms fit but most of our users are 1080p in which it puts it in a square box like your image.

     

    Also just tried zooming out on the browser as a work around for the time being, will obviously depend on how small you've designed your app to see if thats feasible or not.
