SSRS Query Designer Changed in Visual Studio 2017


I have a problem that started Monday (10/1/18) where the query designer for report projects (*.rptproj) has changed, I believe to the Report Builder Visual Designer. This has the unfortunate effect of me having to use the Text-Based Designer for managing the dataset query in the report, which is less than optimal.

When I try to change out of the Text-Based Designer, I get this message:

This happens for all our reports in our Reporting project. Has anyone else run into this issue? All of my Google-Fu attempts to find a solution have failed.

From what I can tell, the Microsoft Reporting Services Projects extension in VS was updated on 9/28/18, but I don't see anything in the change log for such a change. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
