Published chiclet slicer selection requires two clicks

On the Desktop I click once and the selection is highlighted and the data is filtered, as expected.  But the published report requires two clicks for the selection to be highlighted, even though the data is filtered on the first click.  Also, if there is another chiclet slicer, it loses its highlight when something is selected in the first one.  Anyone else experienciing this?

      This issue is affecting my group as well. Any idea on a timeline? We are having to replace this visual in all reports due to concern that the user may not know that the slicer is active after first click. It is unfortunate because the stock slicer does not allow drill-down. This slicer is great and I appreciate the hard work in development.

    I've been having the same issue on Desktop since the March update. Multiple selection also doesn't work anymore.

     

    Anyone else?

      Same issue with two clicks required, multiple selections and drill down not working since March update.

    I'm having the same issue as well. Hopefully its sorted soon as I've had to delay the launch of a new report.

    Filter selections do not accumulate as you make selections across visuals.

     

    So if you make a selection on Visual A, and then make a selection on Visual B - the original selection on Visual A is cleared. 

     

    There are some suggestions in the ideas section to allow cross-visual multiple selections.

      These are slicers and on the Desktop everything behaves as expected.  The problem is with the published report.  One very obvious behavioral difference is that online I have to click the selection twice for it to highlight (but only once to filter).

        I noticed the same thing, only on-line and it started today. Desktop seems to be fine and I know the on-line chicklets worked yesterday.

    In addition to the problem we discussed, we have the problem that leaves choose multiple items. That problem is more important for me. I hope they solve it soon. The default slicer is not as good as the Chiclet Slicer.

        Fixed on Desktop here. I had to redownload the ChicletSlicer visual (version 1.1.5) and import it again to my report, clicking "Update" when prompted.

         

        I have no idea if this solves the issue on published reports, though.

    This issues appears to have been resolved in version 1.1.6

      It appears that the chiclet slicer may have been updated without modifying the version control details regarding the "date added"

       

      Version 1.1.6 — Date added 10/27/2015

       

      See earlier posts referring to Version 1.1.5 dated last month ???

        Multiselect does not work for me. I updated Power BI Desktop with latest as of 5/4/2016 and Chiclet slicer (1.1.6).
