Problem with Z index between shape and graphic

Hello, folks!

 

I'm in need of assistance

 

Since today, after updating PBI Desktop, I'm having trouble positioning a shape behind my graphic. I dont know why, but even if I choose the shape, go in FORMAT window, and choose to place it back/push it back, it wont! I do the same with the graphic, I pull it towards front but it wont go, it still stays behind my shape. I tried to delete and re create the shape, tried also to copy a shape that is correct (behind the graphic) but it also doesnt work!!!

 

Does somebody know how to fix it?

 

Thank you!

Hi @mateus_luzzi ,

 

You can set the Z-order from "Selection" Pane:

You will just need to drag the objects below or above each other to set the z-order.
