Canvas Border Not Responsive to Mouse Clicks

Report Canvas Border (the white area outside the report page) is no longer responsive to mouse button clicks.

 

The issues means the border area cant be used for the selection lasso to select multiple visuals. Additionally it is not possible to use to deselect visials.

 

This makes it difficult to select multiple visuals and makes it impossible to deselect visuals, especially if there is limited empty space on the report page itself.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

It’s determined by design. Interactions are carried on the report page but not the white area outside report border. To select multiple visuals on report page, you could just simply drag your mouse or select with pressing CTRL on your keyboard.

To deselect these visuals, you just need click on the blank area on the report page or click on the viusal with pressing CTRL.

Hiya @v-cazheng-msft 

Thank you for your reply. However, this was not by design before. Previously, you could do exactly as I described. You could drag and select from the report wallpaper/canvas area. It appears this functionality has been removed for some reason. Imagine for a moment, you have a report object or chart on the border of the report page, it is not possible to drag and select form within the report page because you select unwanted report items. Being able to drag and select from the report canvas made this task effortless. Now this tasks is unnecessarily complicated.
