This could be due to some old assets cached in chrome. Try connecting to PBIRS in Chrome then hitting F12 to bring up the developer tools, then in the main Chrome window right click on the refresh button and choose the "Empty Cache and Hard Reload" option
I did have a weird issue with PBIRS back when we upgraded to the Jan 2019 release that these steps fixed. But I have not seen any strange behaviour with PBI Desktop, so I don't know if this will help with that. (although PBI Desktop does use the chromium rendering engine internally so there is a very small chance that this may help)
Thank you. This resolved the issue with Chrome. Now I am hoping this is not a continuous issue as the cache was a problem in previous versions as well. I can not have hundreds of potential users refersh their cache everytime we upgrade.
The issue persists with the two versions of Power BI.
