Power BI Service: Workspace selection ignored

[ImkeF]

Hi there,
since Saturday, workspace selections in Power BI Service are simply ignored and navigation will happen to "My Workspace" instead.
Seeing this in different tenants.
So in the left navigation pane, I select a workspace and will land on "My Workspace" instead:

Hi  @ImkeF 

I tested it in my local environment and did not have the problem you mentioned. Here is a screenshot of my operation and version information.

Thanks @v-yetao1-msft 
for investigating.
I heard around a bit and actually one of my contacts had a similar problem.

I can reproduce the problem on different tenants by doing the following:

1. Open Power BI in the browser
2. Open a workspace that contains a dataflow: On the left navigation pane, below "Workspaces", the name of the opened workspace will appear.
3. Open a dataflow: Below the opened workspace name the name of the dataflow will appear. But also at the same time, the workspace name will automatically be changed to "My Workspace".
4. Now, if you want to open a 2nd artifact in that workspace, you have to open the workspace "again". How? By going back to "Workspaces". Now, if you select the workspace there, the selection will be ignored.

I'm having the same problem. Been around a week for me now.

I have the same problem. When navigated to workspaces from many different pages (dataflows, deployment pipelines, etc), it takes you to my workspace instead.

I noticed this case similar to mine. Just as you close your dataflow in a workspace, you are returned to the default workspace set as the second option right below Workspaces menu item

Hello @v-yetao1-msft ,
any news on this?
This seems to become a general pattern in all of my tenants that dataflow related actions will revert workspaces back to "My Workspace".
Usually, refreshing the browser will then bring back the originally selected workspace, but this doesn't happen reliably.

It looks like they posted a known issue for this:
