Shape Transparency Bug

Apologies if this is a known bug, or I'm not spotting the workaround.

 

Using August version of PBI Desktop.

 

I have a background image with areas for buttons. To make these act as real buttons, I overlay a transparent Shape over the top and apply an Action to it, to trigger a bookmark.

 

However, after recently converting/upgrading my Shapes. I can no longer make them transparent. When I turn my Fill transparency to 100% it simply goes white - and does not show anything behind it.

 

(Also tried to change to a button, but can't seem to get the transparency working on this either).

 

Any ideas?

    Hi g_m_j 

     

    A newer PBI Desktop August version (v. 2.108.825.0) was released on 8/17/2022, which has several fixes on issues in the previous version. Please use the latest version to test it again. 

     

    In my test on the latest version, I cannot reproduce the problem. In the followimg image, I add a transparent rectangle shape over a textbox and the blue canvas background without any problem.
