Maintain layer order and the Format Menu

I think I have found a problem in November Desktop, with the new "Maintain layer order" option. The ability to use the bring to front/bring forward/send to back/send backward buttons in the Format menu has no effect on the visuals.

 

I would expect that this should still work on Desktop/Development and only take effect when published. If the intention is that the  bring to front/bring forward/send to back/send backward buttons no longer work, then they should be disabled.

    I am also seeing this issue. Cannot move objects either direction in layering.

    I've seen some posts on Twitter and these forums where others are impacted. Hoping a fix is forthcoming. Thanks for logging it v-lili6-msft

    Hi,

     

    Any idea on when the Service 12.2 train and Desktop SU12 release is ready? 

     

    I'm using the Send to back function together with the new Maintain layer order a lot and it hasn't been working after the November release.

     

    BR,

    Thanks for getting back to us v-lili6-msft 

     

    I'm afraid SU12 means December.... 😲
    Hope I'm wrong.

    All, as a workaround, changing the layer order via the Selection Pane still works. Just more clicks.

    Thanks a lot. The Selection Pane will work for now.

    I have not had a chance to test it Anonymous but a new version of Power BI Desktop hit the Microsoft Store this morning. Might install that and see if it fixes it.

    Version 2.87.923.0 didn't solve the issue!
