Bookmark navigation in the service does not work anymore if a URL is entered directly to the URL address field of a browser.
On 2/26/2020 something got broken. Till then everything worked as it should.
To reproduce the issue, do the following.
1. Publish the report I provided.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c57refjz3o9dk9w/BookmarkNavigation.pbix?dl=0
2. Open a report in Power BI service.
3. Click on "Bookmark1" button visual of the report.
4. You'll be navigated to the corresponding bookmark. The URL address in the URL box will change. In my case the URL will be:
https://app.powerbi.com/groups/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/reports/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/ReportSection?bookmarkGuid=Bookmarkxxxxxxxxxx
5. Click on the URL address field and copy the displayed URL.
6. Create a new tab in your browser and paste previously copied link to the URL address field of the newly created tab. Press Enter to follow the link.
7. When the navigation is complete, we can witness that the URL address in the URL box changed its value. It became shorter. In my case the URL shown in the URL box will be:
https://app.powerbi.com/groups/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/reports/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/ReportSection
Can someone confirm the issues?
