Issues With Input Slicer in the web app
Hi Ralphy2026
This behavior is actually tied to an active, service-side rendering bug with the native input/text slicer that Microsoft recently introduced in a cloud deployment, which explains why it was working perfectly for months and still runs fine in your local Desktop file. Since the bug causes the web container to completely ignore multiple selection states and freeze up the dismiss "x" clear action once text values are submitted, you can safely bypass it right now for your users by adding a standard Reset/Clear All Filters button (or an explicit reset bookmark) directly to the page container, or by instructing them to use the native global "Reset to default" circular arrow icon located in the main top toolbar of the Power BI Service interface to instantly break the frozen filter state. Alternatively, if your production environment requires a seamless UI experience while the product group finishes rolling out the backend hotfix across all cloud nodes, you can temporarily convert the visual to a standard dropdown or list slicer with a search bar enabled, which completely circumvents the broken text input container code and restores normal single-click clearing for your users.

This video demonstrates how to implement a clean reset mechanism to clear multiple selection values inside your reports instantly, which serves as a highly reliable workaround for users whenever the default visual header clear buttons experience transient service-side bugs.
