Input Slicer Causing Browser Tab Freeze in Public Links (Started April 24, 2026)

Hi Microsoft Fabric Community,

Issue Summary
Input slicers in public/Publish to Web links now freeze/block the browser tab when interacted with. This new problem began yesterday (April 24, 2026) after recent Service updates.
Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create report with Input Slicer (Feb 2026 feature) on text/date field.

  2. Publish to web/public embed.

  3. Open link in Chrome/Edge new tab.

  4. Type/select in input slicer → tab freezes (unresponsive, high CPU).

Environment

  • Power BI Desktop: Works fine.

  • Power BI Service/Public link: Fails (tab blocked).

  • Browser: Chrome/Edge (latest), occurs consistently.

  • No custom visuals; standard input slicer only.

Status: Accepted

Fix should be out in 3-4 days at the latest. In most cases, this does not freeze the UX, but clicking individual X icons or trying to type a second filter item is not allowed. The workaround is to click the Clear icon in the visual header. Translytical input slicers are not affected, only text slicers bound to a data field used as page filters are impacted.
