Many to many relationship cross filter direction icon in "manage relationships" menu - clarification

Hello,

 

I have a many to many relationship with a single direction cross filter applied. At first glance, it looks like the manage relationship menu cross filter direction icon is showing the opposite direction of what's actually occurring; the direction on the canvas matches my selection. Screenshots are below. The report behavior is working as intended based on the selection I've made, but I wanted to double check if this may be a visual bug in the menu only, or if I am not interpreting the icon correctly.

 

This only appears to be happening for many to many relationships, one to many relationships look correct based on my knowledge and the platform documentation.

 

Any guidance if this is intended behavior or not would be appreciated, so that I can explain this scenario properly to other Power BI users inside my organization. Thanks!

I think this is a bug in the visual for the Manage Relationships. Same thing is happening in my reports.
