Wierd Visual Bug? Text boxes "ghosting" on to other report pages.

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm hoping someone else has at least seen this happen or I might drive my self crazy. I have several pages on a report 2 pages with very similar layouts (one Executive view, one Area Manager view)
Page 1Page 1   Page 2Page 2   Page 3Page 3

I've noticed this a few times before but normally I would just close the report and open it back up and it would be fine, but today I had been working for a while refining all the visuals for the new year and didn't want to lose the progress I'd made. I saved thinking this was just visual and probably only my computer. I then went and had a collegue open the report on his system and it was saved just like this (pics above) all pages have the same text boxes and I can't remove them.

 

Any help would be much appreciated. 🙂

Hi, @TCarrasquillo 

 

Based on your description, you may try to click 'View' ribbon and make 'Selection Pane' selected to check whether the auto-duplicating text boxes appear in the 'Selection Pane'.

I have tried serval times and fail to reproduce the error. There is a similar case. You may refer to the following link.

Hey @v-alq-msft ,

 

Thanks for trying to help, your advice actually pointed me in the right direction, at least in my case. I seem to have fixed the issue.

 

For anyone else that might run into this issue, what happened was I duplicated the entire page, so all the visuals were the same but later on I resized and added to the "copy" for a different view. Then I grouped the visuals to make rearranging the page easier if I came up with furture edits.

 

I'm pretty sure my issue was the "original"/first page, did not have the visuals grouped. So when I navigated from the first page to the copy, it was still trying to duplicate the page. I still think it is some kind of "Bug", but at least for now grouping the visuals seems to have worked.
