Command buttons created using VBA have no properties...?

When I add a command button using VBA, the button has no properties option in the right-click context menu.

I record myself creating a command button, then play back the recording, and there's no properties option. Can anyone explain this?

How do I access the properties menu of a command button added using VBA?
Code:
    ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Link:=False _
        , DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=381, Top:=157.5, Width:=54.75, Height:= _
        41.25).Select

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
I was in design mode the first time. Try it, you'll see exactly what I mean. Run the code I posted, or record yourself creating a command button.

There's no properties option listed in the context menu. Screenshot.

The button on the left was created from the control toolbox.

The button on the right half od the screenshot was created using the macro recorded as I created the first button.

It's a bug. Click the Properties button on the Control Toolbox.
