Whole Model View greyed out

Hi All

My whole Model view is greyed out. Not the separate tables, but the whole view. I can see the greyed out query tables in the background but not the relationships (although if I click on "manage relationships" button I can see them all and they are active). What might be the problem?

 

P.S. load is enabled in all tables

Believe there is a bug when a Table is named in odd ways.  We had a table named with "," comas.  Not a great idea to name a table with puncuation, but after removing it the model was no longer greyed out.  Saving and reopening then returned the model with proper relationships.

The same issue has been reported internally and should be fixed in the new release.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Try the latest version of Power BI Desktop and create a support ticket for assistance if necessary.

I have the exact same problem with one of my models, 100% import mode, using Power BI Desktop 64-bit March 2020. My other models work fine.

@hanks! I've checked all my queries and they all have "import" mode.
