Blinking issue when applying filters

I am experiencing a Power Bi 'blinking issue' similar to the one in below GIF: 

 When selecting values from the dropdown filter and clicking on the chart there is a white overlapping layer that sits on top of the main chart.

Any idea how to solve this?

@ste,

What do you mean about "white overlapping layer", do you mean the filter pane or others?

Hi Yuta, it's happening both on the filter panel and on the chart.

 

Steps I'm taking: 

Open the filter panel, select a filter then instead of choosing to close the filter panel from top right button, I'm clicking straight on the chart. That will make the filter panel half visible, it looks like it's somewhere between the chart and the 4 tab views in the center page.

Similar behavior happens when I click on the area under the 4 horizontal tab views (POL Country, POL etc), but this time the entire bottom chart disappears and it's replaced with a white background. The chart keeps blinking every time I hover the mouse between outside the page and inside the chart.  I can restore the chart if I click on top or side of the page.
