Why does SegmentedControl in BB10 QML file only show 4 Options?

Question

My SegmentedControl needs to have 6 options. So I have the following QML:

import bb.cascades 1.2

Container {
    topPadding: 20.0
    SegmentedControl {
        selectedIndex: 0
        Option {
            text: "1"
        }
        Option {
            text: "2"
        }
        Option {
            text: "5"
        }
        Option {
            text: "10"
        }
        Option {
            text: "20"
        }
        Option {
            text: "50"
        }
    }
}

In Momentics however, I see only the first 4 options. Why?

If you look in documentation, right at the top it says

SegmentedControl allows you to create a horizontal row with up to four visible options.

So basically you can't. Unless you make a control that acts just like it

Try using a few ImageButtons, or Buttons. Maybe just Containers. You can't get exactly the same functionality, but might get close to it – Bojan Kogoj Jun 24 '14 at 09:49
Thanks @BojanKogoj, I'm trying Buttons enclosed by a Container each now. – meaning-matters Jun 24 '14 at 09:56
Why would anybody think it's a good idea to make a design choice like this? Beats me. – marko Jun 26 '14 at 14:26
@marko Indeed rather silly to allow only 4 segments max. – meaning-matters Jun 27 '14 at 07:44
I don't think it's designed to have words inside rather than numbers, and they needs space – Bojan Kogoj Jun 27 '14 at 18:19
