Hi,
I’m not sure if this is a bug or is it that I’m doing something wrong:
I have this:
```javascript
var config = {
type: Phaser.AUTO,
parent: gameConfig.parentId,
scale: {
width: screen.width,
height: screen.height,
mode: Phaser.Scale.FIT,
autoCenter: Phaser.Scale.CENTER_BOTH,
autoRound: true,
},
render: {
transparent:true,
},
scene: [Scene01(gameConfig.mainScnConfig)]
};
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);
```
And the on the scene create function I do:
```javascript
//...
this.input.on('pointerdown', onPointerDown);
}
function onPointerDown(pointer, currentyOver) {
console.log('pointerdown', pointer.x, pointer.y);
}
```
The pointer x and y are completely off. Please help!

Maybe you are just confusing pointer.x and pointer.worldX?
The way you have it now should return {x: 0, y: 0}, if you click the top left corner of the canvas and {x: gameWidth, y: gameHeight} if you click on the bottom right corner of the canvas.

No, pointer.x and pointer.worldX have the same values.
And in my case on the top left they return {x:686.4, y:440.8} and on the bottom right {x:1233.6, y:638.3} 😧 . Width and height are set to screen width and height which in my monitor should be 1920x1080 pixels
What I also find weird is that if I click outside of the canvas the event is fired too

Ok. So then maybe something in your html or css file is wrong? Because your GameConfigs seems to be right.
I once made a [simple phaser template](https://github.com/yandeu/phaser-basic-template) which uses the same setting. Maybe it helps taking a loot at it?

Oh no I see something! Maybe you just have to put the `parent` inside the `scale` object?

Thanks a lot Yannick! You gave the clue. It was the css. I forgot to remove this property from the canvas CSS from a previous test I was doing (stupid of me!!)
```javascript
border: solid 1000px white;
```
I removed it and it works!
