In current versions the "Rectangle" in the Drawing toolbar is a custom 
shape. Custom shapes are those shapes, for which the "Toggle extrusion" 
icon is enabled. The feature "Rounded Rectangle" in the "Position and 
Size" dialog can only be used with rectangles from the toolbox "Legacy 
Rectangles" and text shapes from the toolbox "Text".

I always customize the drawing toolbar so, that I delete all the single 
shape icons and insert the toolboxes "Legacy Rectangles", "Legacy 
Circles and Ovals" and "Text box".

The "Rectangle" and "Ellipse" shapes, which are currently in the Drawing 
toolbar as single shape icons, are still available in the toolbox "Basic 
Shapes".

To get rounded corners you can use the legacy rectangle or you use the 
"rounded rectangle" shape from the "Basic Shapes" toolbar.

The "legacy" shapes and the "custom" shapes are very different in their 
features.

Kind regards
Regina
