Regular webview2 crashes when renaming columns in report

[hansei]

Renaming columns in report is regularly crashing webview2

I have renamed some columns without an issue, but 1 or 2 columns will always cause a webview error 
The crash will also occur if column is renamed in power query, but is preceded by this

Frown (Error)

Hi @hansei,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

I went through the error details you shared and would like you to try the steps provided by @rajendraongole1 in order so we can nail down whether this is local WebView2 state error or a build regression. 

I would also take a moment to thank @rajendraongole1, for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference.

If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.  

Best Regards,
Hammad.

paste in your address bar: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop
Delete the webview2 folder. >> Restart Power BI Desktop.
