Hi @nadia4567 

Does this issue only happen with Icon maps at the moment? Have other visual received the effect?

Affecting all of my reports too, including some that haven't been updated for more than 2 years, sitting in the Service. Suspect the change was within the past two weeks. 

Seems like custom tooltips still work though. I've just learned though that we must create visuals first, resize them, then re-size the tootip page, thanks to another bug in PBI Desktop. If you size the page first the visuals glitch out in the properties pane.

Hi @nadia4567 

So the issue happened on Desktop and remained unresolved after your update, yes? What is your current version of Desktop? What version was it before the update?

Hi @v-yetao1-msft,

 I downloaded powerBI desktop version from the microsoft store end of july so it was pretty recent, and then yesterday I updated it to this 2.132.1053.0 64-bit (August 2024). The issue appeared before i updated i think, as that is why i thought updating might fix it.

 

thanks,

nadia

Hi
I have the same problem.
I haven't updated or changed anything, neither in pbi nor in the extension, but the tooltips are missing on all boards
No matter how I tried, I can't get them back
If you find a fix, please let me know

Hi @v-yetao1-msft,

 

Looks like you work for MS? My guess is that it's actually an issue with Leaflet/Open Street Maps. You can see it affecting the embedded PBI on the IconMap website (under Tooltips section) Icon Map - Usage - Circles (icon-map.com).

Thanks for looking at this. 

@Lofy you can still use custom tooltips.
