Composite Model Report Creating Measure with Duplicate Name Freezes PowerBI

[sunil-al]

How to replicate the issue:

1. Create a composite model and publish it.
2. Open PowerBI desktop and choose the composite powerbi dataset as the source
3. Create a measure and name it the same as any existing measure in the composite model.

At this point powerBI gives an error which says "The name <name of measure> is already used in .... Choose a different name" This makes sense.

But you also see "a working on it..." overlay and then that's the state powerbi stays in until you force PowerBI to close thus potentially losing any unsaved work.

I believe this is a bug.
