Power BI Desktop Freezes when changing Data type

Desktop keeps freezing about every third or fourth time I change the Data type of a column.  It acts as if a modal dialog is up - but there isn't (or it's hidden).  The only solution is killing the Power BI Desktop task loosing any work since the last save.

Creating a custom column:
Calculated duration between two events in DateTime (output in minutes)

Created a custom colum out of that value (durationminutes / 60)

Changed data type to TIME ... GAME-OVER
