I created a new wordcloud but when I change the shape to a rectangle, all the words disappear. I’ve changed shapes in the past without this happening. Has something changed? Does this work for anyone else?  
Thanks!

There was a problem with the first 2 shapes: rectangle and ellipsis. This has just been fixed, you can now use these shapes just like any other. Thanks for reporting!
