Hi @vansykes

 

I tested on my side but I was not able to reproduce the issue. Please update your Power BI desktop to the latest version 2.70.5494.562 then test again. Please run 64 bit if possible.

I am running the latest code now and can cause the same freeze.  I figured out another breadcrumb.  If it is a PBIX with a dataset, I can not cause this freeze because everything is greyed out for formatting until pressing enter on measure.  But, if I am working in a PBIX that is connected to a dataset PBIX, I can change the values and cause the freeze.  Video link below of scenario.
