I believe it has something to do w/ custom themes. The only way I can make it go away is to manually set the background color to white in "Visualizations >> Format". This is not viable as I have 50+ branded dashboards that I will have to do this to. Are you using custom themes?

I am also experiencing this issue with custom themed reports.  Please fix it.

    This is a known issue. Please check the following response from PG. And you can check the fixed example JSON file.

     

    "visualStyles": {
        "*": {
            "*": {
                "*": [
                    {
                        "fontSize": 12,
                        "fontFamily": "Calibri",
                        "color": {
                            "solid": {
                                "color": "#000000"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        },



    "The fix is to update your theme file to be more specific with your visualStyles section, replacing one of the wildcards with a specific entity (visual type or formatting card name).

     

    As the Theme feature is in preview, and the triple wildcard is technically working as expected, there is no “fix” coming.

     

    We also identified a popular third-party Power BI Theme Generator website (non-Microsoft) and asked the owners to change their tool to avoid creating triple wildcards."


    Regards,
    Lydia
