    We have reproduced this issue. It happens when dropdown list is long, just as you said. We have reported this issue internally.

Issue not solved anymore (in fact the situation has worsened)

 

Now I can see the lens and the search box (using any kind of browser) but it's impossible to enter anything in the box.

 

Before this "fix" with Firefox were possible to use properly the search option in slicer

    I tried it in Chrome, Firefox and IE for a list of almost 8000 and it works fine now. 

     

    In Firefox and IE I could immediately type in my search words, however in Chrome, try to click in the search box near the magnifying glass, a smaller text box appears where you can type.

      I have the same issue and it must have to do with the size/length of the list. I received a sample pbix and it works fine and when i try to reproduce this on another (larger) dataset it breaks. I am using the latest version (oct 2017) of power bi desktop and chrome. any ideas how to resolve this? one potential solution until it is properly handled it would be to allow us to limit the selection list by a certain field e.g. total sales and apply advanced sorting and bring the top x % of items. anyone that has managed to make it work somehow?
