Can't connect to Kusto from "Get Data" menu, but I can connect to Kusto using the blank query

Hello,

 

As explained in the title, when I go to "Get Data"->"All"->"Azure Data Explorer (Kusto)", then I specify the "Cluster","Database", and "Query", then click Ok, it shows the following screen:

Then, after clicking the "Sign in" button, it shows the Error "[DataFormat.Error] Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.", as shown in the following image:

If I click on "Connect", it shows the Error "Authorization wasn't specified".

 

Even though I can't connect to Kusto using the method described before, I can connect using the method described in https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Azure-Data-Explorer-Kusto-refresh-shows-quot-completed-quot... which is by creating a blank query and then using the "Advanced Editor" to type the following:
let
Source = Kusto.Contents("<<cluster>>", "<<database>>", "<<table>>...

 

I feel that both methods should work.
