How to lock visual on top of text box - visual disappears when hovering

Hello:

 

I have created a report page with a visual on top of a text box. When I click on the text box in Desktop, the visual disappears. When I view the report in Service, and simply hover over the text box, the visual disappears.

 

Is there a way to lock the visual, or otherwise make it static, so that it does not disappear?

 

Thank you!

Hi  @johnwedeles ,

 

Don't know the exact format of your text box and visual (in term of size) but if you place the text box within the size of the visualization the text box will not be "selectable" so you people will only hover on the visual. Also try to do a group of both shapes can work.

 

Turn off the background of the text box.

Hi @johnwedeles ,

 

Try using following option:

Click on your visual on the top of text box --> Go to "FORMAT" option on the top ribbon --> Use "BRING FORWARD" option

 

If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

Thank you, @Pragati11 @MFelix . I actually ended up resizing the text boxes so that the visual does not appear on top of the text box. A workaround that will work for now!
