April Update - slicers losing dimensions, other formatting issues

Hi all, Since installing April update, is anyone else having issues with slicers suddenly losing their width and height dimensions? Not just changing, but becoming totally blank?

I'm not sure if it's the update, because I've updated to April, am using KPI's imported from Excel, and I'm using the custom visual "Attribute Slicer" all for the first time today. It's happened a few times now, seems like it's when I try to undo something. Never seen this before...anyone else?

thanks

Vincent

    There is new update of PowerBI Desktop with version 2.34.4372.501 which fixes the issue.

    This happened tome with all the downloaded visuals, but I didn't think this was related to april update.

    The point is that I started using the downloaded visuals after I've updated.

     

    None of them work.

      Hmmm very interesting,  thanks michellmadeira. I know the stock visuals Card and Slicer were doing the same thing (losing their width/height) as the downloaded Attribute Slicer. I'm thinking it's probably an issue with the April update. I've never had this problem before, and I've used several other downloaded visuals for a couple of months.

        vpray There is a current notification of a Custom Visual issue on the support site. I wouldn't be suprised if the issues you are experiencing are a result of that.

    UPDATE 5-9-16

    I just had the lost dimension problem again. Pbix file, NO custom visuals ever imported, started clean in the April update version of desktop, NO imports from Excel, and no "undo" actions close to the time of the problem. Just simple stock tables, multi-row cards, slicers, and one bar chart. Screen shot one shows a card that lost its dimensions when I closed the pbix file (short black line, upper left). Screen shot two shows the good file before I closed it.

      Sure, if you sign in to Power BI online, then click the download arrow in the upper right corner area, it will download the latest version. Then you just run it to install it. I have not seen the issue since getting the fixed update.
