(Desktop) Data navigation pane - Scroll Bar issue

Version: 2.115.663.0 64-bit (March 2023)

 

Bit of a strange one, the vertical scroll-bar in the nav-pane in Data View does not cover the full list. In order to access the lower tables/fields I have to select the lowest one I can see and then press the down key, where the rest of the tables/fields will become visible, however now the scroll-bar will not reach the top of the list (until I select the upper-most visible item and press the up key!

 

I have been putting up with this for a few weeks now, but it's really driving me mad. I have reinstalled PBI Desktop but the issue persists. For an unrelated reason, I have also done a completely clean install of Windows (11, 64-bit) and STILL I have this issue. 

Any ideas?

Scroll bar maxed, apparently:

Hi @purple_banana ,

 

This issue may caused by  CEF/Chromium. Power BI is transitioning part of its infrastructure from using CefSharp to WebView2.

Please try to switch to the WebView2:

Make sure that the Power BI Desktop infrastructure update is checked and WebView2 is installed.

YES!! That was it. Thank you!!!!

 

I had disabled that option after receiving some WebView2 errors & PBI Desktop crashes. Hopefully the errors don't come back now!! 🤞

Had the same exact issue and it too was driving me crazy.  Power BI Desktop infrastructure update corrected the issue.  Thanks @v-jianboli-msft
