DAX formula bar expand/collapse arrow bug?

hi all, I'm finding the DAX formula bar behaviour annoying, even buggy! Certainly disruptive to my flow of work when building reports/visuals.   When I have a DAX table, and I expand the fields ...

Click outside the Visualization area. Anywhere on the filter field pane. It will close. That is only given small or big height. As the formula is big it might remain the same.

thanks for the suggestion amitchandak , I have noticed this works sometimes, but not always. Very often the filter pane is completely covered by the DAX formula. Other times clicking on the report surface, as you suggest, has no effect at all.

Even if this did work, it is hardly a solution to the problem ...

(a) how is this intuitive or reasonable/expected behaviour??? this is the process ... click the fields list .. formula expands .. we are supposed to somehow guess that clicking on the report surface collapses the DAX formula?

(b) this is the bug: the DAX formula is expanded already (after expanding the fields), but the expand/collapse UP/DOWN arrow is in the DOWN state, indicating that it can be clicked to expand the DAX formula, which is already expanded. Clicking DOWN then does nothing except change the the arrow to point UP
