    Hi ,  

    I test it in my side , when we modify the bookmark navigation and leave the report page .

    The result is that : The bookmark navigation will change to default which we save in the editing view but the filter is still the last filter we have selected. This is due to the report will cache the user's selection by default .

    You can try to this methods to avoid this situation:
    (1)We can close the "Persistent filters" in the report setting:

     

     

     

    So when the end user select the one of the bookmark and leave the report. After he view this report , his any filter will not be saved and will only show the report default filter.

     

    (2)The second way is to modify the "Selected" style of bookmark to have no default background. In this way, the end user will not be aware of the current BookMark.

    Create page and bookmark navigators - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    (3)Inform the user that when an incorrect filter is cached, they can click the restore default button in the upper right corner to reset the current filter.

Hi, thank you for the detailed answer. 

I have changed the "persistent filters" setting, but I feel that this is more of a flawed work-around than a solution (the same for the other suggestions), and that the issue should be regarded as a bug.

I'll accept your answer as the solution anyway as it represents the only options available.

 

So to summarize: if one uses a bookmark navigation in a report, either the selected bookmark feature (to display which button has been clicked) can not reliably be used, or one needs to disable the ability for users to save filters all together.
