Power BI Desktop Analytics pane is incomplete - only shows Error bars

With the November version of Power BI Desktop, it seems there is a problem with the Analytics pane.  It is missing all reference lines, like min, max, percentile, or average.

Power BI version: 

2.123.742.0 64-bit (November, 2023)
Note: I am not using On-object interaction, I disabled it because I thought it was the cause of the issue, but it is not.  Now I cannot modify my existing lines, not add new ones. 
I am trying to update an existing ref line that I have in a Line and stacked column chart.

Hi @fanato 
According to your images, you are using one of the combo charts.

For example line and columns. For these charts the analytics features are unavailable.

on the regular line graph, it will work properly

The option always shows you the possible functionality based on the graph that you created

For more information please refer to the linked documentation :

(The last section talks about the limitations)
