Azure DevOps Canvas App Container LayoutDirection Bug?

Hi all,

 

we are building a canvas app and are using Azure DevOps for collaboration. However, when one of us creates a container based UI-Element (not the vertical/horizontal container but the "normal" one) and commits the change, the layout breaks and shows the error "Name isn't valid. Manual isn't recognized" for Container1.LayoutDirection. However, a "normal" Container element does not seem to have a property called "LayoutDirection", so applying the recommended fix does not work for us. We noticed that when looking at the commit history in the repository, the "LayoutDirection.Manual" is added to the Container element eventhough we cannot find it in the editor UI.

 

Example:

What it looks like before committing:

What it looks like after updating:

The error:

The commit change:

This seems like a bug to us since there is not way to fix the issue in the Power Apps Editor UI. Has anyone else had this happen or has found any workarounds? Not being able to use the container element severely limits the possible UI options.

 

Thanks!
