Single Visible Page bug

[RossEdwards]

If you produce a report with only a single visible page, when it is published into an App only the report name is shown.  If your report has buttons that take a user to a hidden page, this user can return to the "visible" page by using a 'back' button supplied on the report.

A bug is present that if the user presses the browsers refresh button, the "back" function of the button no longer works.  Clicking on the name of the report in the left menu has no effect.  The user is trapped on this page unless they close the Power BI app or use the "Go Back" which returns the user to the App menu.

I would expect that clicking the report name, when there is a single visible page, should return the user to that page.

Hi @RossEdwards

Please follow these steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Create a new PBIX file. Use enter data for a fake dataset as its not relevant.

2. Create 2 pages: "Page 1" & "Page 2"

3. Hide "Page 2"

4. On "Page 1", place a button with an action: Page Navigation to "Page 2"

5. On "Page 2", place a button with the action "Back"

6. Save file and publish to a workspace that can support a workspace App.

7. Add/Publish to app.

8. Open app and find your report, you will see that when you click on the report name, you are shown "Page One".  You will notice in the menu that the page names are not displayed, as you have only a single visible page.

9. Click on your button that will take you to "Page 2".

10. Press the refresh button on your browser

11.  Press the 'back' button on your currently displayed "Page 2".  Because you refreshed, it has lost its memory of where 'back' should take it and nothing happens.

12.  Press the name of the report and you will notice notice happens.

There are work arounds, you can exit and reenter the app. You can switch to a different report and switch back.  On the report itself you can change "Page 2" to use page navigation instead of "back", however this isn't a viable solution if you had a multi page deep set of buttons where back could have multiple pages possible.
