I am not able to reproduce the issue on my side. Could you please uninstall Power BI Desktop and re-install it? Please make sure you install the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.52.4921.581).

Thanks for your reply but it still doesn't work. My version is
Version: 2.52.4921.581 64-bit (November, 2017)
I did uninstall the product and install it several times but no success.
