Desktop possible bug preventing selecting relationship line in model view

[mmathewson]

In Power BI Desktop Model View I have trouble hovering over a relationship line between two tables. When I hover over a line a different line highlights, sometimes two lines over. In the image below, if I hover over or try to select either of the two bottom lines I can only select or highlight the second line down down from the top, the currently green line in the image. However, I can hover over the top line and it works as it should. The orientation of the lines, vertical or horizontal, does not matter. Some are further apart and it happens. Nothing changes if I zoom in or out and I am using the current update for October. Has anyone experienced this or have a solution?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi  @mmathewson 

I tested what you said, I created 2 relationships and when I mouse over the relationship, the one highlighted is the one selected by the mouse. You can refer to what I did. My Desktop version is 2.122.746.0 64-bit (October 2023).

Or you can provide your sample(remove sensitive info) for reference .

Workaround I found is to move the table (just drag it around with your mouse a bit) with either anchor point of the reletionship line you want to edit and then make sure the first line you hoover over is the one you want to select - I always aim for the anchor point on the table I just moved. It can be a bit tempremental so sometimes you have to give it 2 or 3 attempts.
