ArchiCAD 21 - Break Hotlink button

In previous ArchiCADs you could Break a Hotlink Module by bringing up the Hotlink Module settings. Now in AC21 however that button has gone and seems to been replaced by a context menu item but it doesn't work as it makes ArchiCAD crash.

Please could Graphisoft fix this and or give our button back, thanks

Yes, it seems that in ARCHICAD 21 the "Save as File" button and the "Break Hotlink of Selected Modules" checkbox of the Hotlinked Module Settings Dialog have been removed from the Dialog and became two separate commands available both in the File menu and in the context menu of the Hotlinked Module.

However, the command works fine for me, I do not see any crashes when using it.
This may be file-specific, you should report it to your local reseller.
