Can't move tables in relationship view

Hi everyone,

 

I have a problem with moving tables in relationship view. They are locked somehow. I've been browsing this forum for similar issues and elsewhere on the internet but can't really find an answer. When I mark a table I have both a blue & yellow rectangle around the table.

 

Anyone experienced this?

 

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, 

 

Thanks for the assistance! After I updated Power BI to a newer version I don't have the same problem. Now it works like it used to, so I can't reproduce the issue. Not sure why it previously happened. 

 

Thanks for the help though.

The above solution did not help me with this issue. Solution was to restart PowerBI.

Hi @Anonymous 

I cannot reproduce the same issue.You may click on the table and drag it to move.Could you share some screenshot?It would be better if you can upload the .pbix file to OneDrive and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

Hi, I don't believe I need or have an update for my power bi. I can't move the relationships in the model view, I also can't expand or collapse the tables. 

same here. 

I don't think we are going to get a response here. I will post this question again as a new post in hopes we get an answer. 

I just had exactly the same problem. But then I noticed I also could no longer move my icons around on my desktop. I restarted my PC and now both PowerBi and the icons on my desktop are working again.
