Relationship Display is not saving changes

Is the relationships display in Desktop supposed to save the current position.  In other words, if I drag the hierarchy the way that I want, isn't it supposed to save it?  I seem to get constant issues where I clean up the display only to come back in and it is all hosed up.  Sometimes it seems to save it properly.  What am I missing? I had the one below all nicely laid out and then come back in later and it is all messed up per below.

@DQuigg I totally agree. For me, this is the worst bug in Power BI. It was only with a lot of pushing with the service team that they got agreement to bring the fix forward to August. This bug drives me nuts and I agree it is surprising that more people have not screamed about it.

When I saw the screen caps from the summit yesterday, seeing dimensions scattered all around reminded me of this issue. I did take some solace from the announcement that the devs will be spending more time addressing usability issues like this one.

This always happens when we load a report from a PBIT.  Everything always gets reset.  Very frustrating since most of our dev work starts by pulling a PBIT from git and loading it up.

MS support had indicated that this would be solved in the August issue of Desktop. I can confirm this is not the case. @mhardy I think you might be onto something and that it could be connected to publishing.  I consider this the worst and certainly longest running bug in PBI. I can not believe that MS has not fixed this yet. Please Please bring a fix for this major issue.

The September version of PBI Desktop has still not fixed this issue. Please MS look at this.

It appears that MS have announced and demonstrated a new diagram view function at the Ignite conference, but still listed as "coming soon".

I still get issue on a very regular basis. I have given up setting up diagram views which is really annoying. Hopefully the new diagram view should resolve this. Hopefully this will be in the Novermber release of Desktop.
