Button for navigation between pages - cannot select the "line" shape

Hello everyone,

I try to create a line shape button with the new automatic navigation button feature (pages). In the shape properties, when I select "Line", the selection stays as it was previously... 

So, in the example below, I insert the navigation buttons.

The default value is "Rectangle".

When I click on the dropdown menu, I select "Ligne" ("Line" in French).

The selection then stays to "Rectangle".

Is it a known bug?

Here is my Power BI Desktop version (in French).

@SLabbe,

In my quick test, "Line" is not a valid shape for a button.  If you think about how difficult it will be for a User to click a Line vs a valid shape button, this kinda makes sense.

You should be able to choose a rectangle or other valid shape and make it as small as you want by adjusting the width and height using the General Properties.

Hope this helps.

I expected this line shape to be sort of un underlined button. Something like this...

That's what I was already creating "manually" with empty buttons and bookmarks. So that would have same me a lot of time.
