Issue: Dropdown Slicer

Sometimes when I use the dropdown slicer in Power BI Desktop, the list of values doesn't disappear after clicking out of it. It will stay on the screen even if I go to a different page of the report.

 

The only way to "fix" it is save my report and reopen the report by closing Power BI Desktop.

 

Please fix as soon as possible, thanks.

Hi @wonga,

 

Based on my test in Power BI desktop 2.44.4675.521 64-bit (March 2017), when we click anywhere outside of the slicer visual, the dropdown list will disappear. See:

 

 

In your scenario, what's the desktop version did you run? Please try the same version as ours to see if issue persists.

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft

 

I am using the same version as you mentioned. I'll post again once I see the issue happen. For now, it seems to have disappeared.

 

Thanks.

Hello @v-qiuyu-msft, I just encountered the issue again. The only thing that sticks out to me is it happens if there are more than one dropdown slicer on the same report page. See picture for an example of how the list of dropdown values don't disapppear. Notice the arrow is in a downward position which implies the lsit should not be shown. An up arrow would imply the list being shown.

 

Thanks.
