Power BI Service Disappearing Folder Bug
I am noticing a bug in Power BI Service with folders disappearing. It only happens when I am in the semantic model settings, refresh my window, and then click the workspace icon. It brings me back to the default view of the workspace but without folders. I am then forced to refresh the page again to show folders.
It is nothing major, but nonetheless an annoying bug.
