BUG: Rename Datasource infinate loop

Spoiler
If you rename a datasource query and click off the window, it gets stuck in an infinate loop.  It tells you the name can't be blank, but when you hit "close" you never get a chance to alter the name.  It just keeps telling you it cannot be blank.  Very annoying, I had to end task on power BI and lose all saves.  The rename function is designed poorly anyway (clunky). If you hit rename, you still have to click in the name to start editing, typing a character does nothing.

@ChrisHanes ,

 

You can modify the data source by query editor-> advanced editor.

That isn't a solution, that is a different way to rename.  They still need to fix the bug.  Having to shut down Power BI is not a viable answer.
