April 2021 Update causes shapes created in previous versions to flash when embedded

[Anonymous]

I had built a report in previous versions of Power BI Desktop and published it to Power BI Service.  We embedded the report in a custom web app and everything worked fine.  When the April 2021 update was rolled out to Power BI Desktop and I published the report the shapes used as background objects started flashing in the embedded version.

I am posting this for awareness because I was able to resolve the issue.  I had to delete all of the shapes and recreate them all.  In my case it was only 10 shapes across 3 tabs but this could be a real pain for someone with a larger report.

Hi @Anonymous 

Thanks for letting people know. Please also be aware that the embedded side of Power BI runs at a different pace to the Power BI Service.

Look out for the updates in the Embedded section of the Power BI updates blog.
