Text Box Headers and positioning

Hi

I'm trying to center a text box over the top of my report.

However I can't due the text box header preventing me to drag the text box.

Disabling the header the normal way (Visualization -> Visual header -> off) doesnt' work because it will only disappear in the View mode and I won't be able to move the text box there.

Setting the position to 0 takes the Header into account so it's the same.

 

Is there any way to solve this?

Select the text box and try setting/changing the X and Y position under General

Are you saying you can't even choose the text box? Did you try selecting the text box in selection pane?

 

View->Selection Pane. 

 

Could you share the pbix file?

I could, but it still takes the Header as 0:
