Preventing text box from coming to the front & hiding visualizations like slicer(s)

[CHauser]

I'm trying a textbox as my background at the top, containing slicer(s).  But each time I click somewhere other than directly on a slicer the textbox comes forward and essentially hides the visualizations that reside 'within' the textbox border.  This requires clicking somewhere off the texbox to return the slicer(s) visually.

Is it possible to prevent this behavior so the text box remains in back of all other visualizations even when clicked?

Maybe I should try using something other than a text box to accomplish this?

Hi @CHauser 

To prevent a visual from coming to the foreground you can adjust the layer order then set it to maintain the layer order.

1. In Power BI at the top click View 
2. Under Show panes, click Selection. 
3. Make sure that your Text box appears at the bottom of your layer order list. 
4. Click on your Text box visual. On the Format pane under Advanced options click Maintain layer order so that it is set to On. 
5. Publish your report. 

It's important to note that by clicking on the unpublished report you won't notice that anything has changed. However, once published you'll see that the Text box no longer comes to the foreground. Hope this helps.
