Matrix with stepped layout expand button not working after level 2

I have a matrix added to my Power BI report. I need it with the stepped layout enabled. Under "Rows" I have 5 fields added. In Power BI Desktop I can expand all 4 levels without any issues. After publishing in the Power BI Service, I can expand there level 1 without any issues, but I can't expand levels 2 to 4. For level 2, the plus icons for expanding are showing but greyed out. What am I missing?

Thanks @Anonymous. Definetely a glitch. I tried everything. I even upgraded Power BI Desktop to the latest version and same happened. Unfortunately the solution for me was to completely remove the matrix and recreate it. Once I recreate it I was able to see it without any issues with all levels in the Power BI Service.
