Power BI will let you manually size shapes down to 14 x 14. But if you try to use the Width/Height well to change size, it won't let you go below 40 if you're above, and won't let you go up from < 40 if you're below.

There are very good reasons why we might want to go down to 14 or even lower, as per this Twitter thread:

Agreed. And the minimum size should be smaller.

Agreed - this is absolutely absurd and needs to be fixed.

At the end of the day, let the user decide is it's too small or not.

Having to hand-adjust in in PBI Desktop to try and get things pixel perfect is senseless and unnecessary.
