This is the second example in the "getting started" section of Microsoft's official Power BI training. Incoherent as usual. Why would I expect anything else. And no, it's not affected by the size of the window or anything like that, it's just a mess. #uifail

A mess of a filter bar reading "Sales by" followed by up- and down-arrows and some tool icons. Whatever the rest of the title is, its text is mixed in with the tool icons and unreadable.
