Small Drop-Down Slicers don't expand fully on first browser click

I have a short drop-down slicer on one of my report pages that has 3 items. On desktop, when I click the drop-down I see all options upon first click, just like so:

However, when I publish the report, all users, myself included, only see a single item in the drop-down when the slicer is clicked the first time (see pic below). When a user clicks on the slicer the second time (and any time thereafter), they see the "full" dropdown and all three items like it appears on desktop.

This is confusing to users as its not obvious that there are additional options and the scroll bar only appears if you hover over the scroll area. This is a single-select slicer that is on the topmost layer of the report page and isn't being covered by any other item. 

 

This behavior can be seen in every report slicer that has a "small" amount of items (generally <5) -- a user must click the drowpdown, exit, then re-click the slicer dropdown in order to see all the items when viewing the report in the web browser.  Again, every user, regardless of access level or web browser, sees this same behavior. And its on every report that has slicer with a small amount of items, its not limited to this single report example.

 

If it helps any, I'm on the Power BI Premium service and the desktop version I'm using is Version: 2.92.1067.0 64-bit (April 2021)

Has this issue been resolved yet? I am still experiencing issues with slicers showing as lists instead of dropdowns on some of my slicers in Power BI Service. They are showing normally as dropdowns in Power BI Desktop.

@Anonymous  the issue mentioned on the post has been fixed by the team.
From my understanding of your post what you are facing is that slicers are shown as list as opposed to a dropdown. on the slicer title top right side you should see a down arrow when you click that you will see the option of dropdown which once selected should change the list to a dropdown. Hope it helps.
