Bookmarks keep reverting text formatting

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have several bookmarks which hide one text box and make another text box visible.

When I reformat the text in one of the text boxes, and change to another bookmark, then my changes are overridden!

1. This is the initial state. The grey text is grey and size 14, which is bad.

2. I have fixed the text to be blue and size 18. It is perfect, and I want to keep it this way, so I update the bookmark.

3. I click a different bookmark.

4. Then I click back to the initial bookmark. But my changes are gone! It's horrible and grey again.

I tried updating all other bookmarks after I made the change.

I also tried deleting all the bookmarks for that page, and recreating them after I make my changes.

Funnily enough, if I only select a small part of the text, then the changes persist for a while.

Could you please advise what is causing this? I can provide the PBIX, though I cannot see how to attach it to this post.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'm not able to reproduce the issue on my side with Power BI desktop version 2.59.5135.601 64-bit (June 2018). Please update your desktop to this latest version then test again. 

If the issue persists, you can upload your pbix file to your OneDrive and share the link here. If the report contains sensitive data, please send the link to me via private message.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thanks for your sharing. I have tested on my side with your pbix file, change the text to be blue and size 18 as you mentioned in step 2, and click on Update next to the bookmark "proc_Phosphorus", the text change is saved when we view the bookmark. See: 

You can download the updated pbix file to test on your side: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6dret8sorxpemyo/Meetup_ButtonsDemo_MiniForForum.pbix?dl=0

Hi Qiuyun, thanks for trying that out. I no longer get the issue in the file you uploaded.

I was running version 2.59.5135.421 64-bit (June 2018). I downloaded the latest installer and updated to version 2.59.5135.781 64-bit (June 2018).

I still occasionally get the issue but it happens inconsistently. If I cannot document it in the next week, I'll close this issue.
