The filled map is displaying Argentina wrongly

Hi everyone 

 

I have a strange case with a user, who consumes a report in the Power bi service. When he selects in a slicer the country Argentina, the map shows this: ( Argentina + Strange Rectangle over Antarctica)

The strangest thing is that other users with access to the report do not see the rectangle in the PBI service, it is only one user ( he has ever seen the rectangle).

I would appreciate any help on this

Thanks to all

I'm not sure why this is happening but I'll say that the filled map is, quite frankly, a pretty bad mapping visual. Try using either Azure Maps if you want to stick to first-party visuals (you'll have to enable it in preview options). If you're open to third-party maps then Icon Map and Mapbox are playing in a completely different league than the filled map.
