Text box on Image - Disappears on Click

[ngalford]

Hello - I am working on a report in Desktop and have several images and shapes with a text box on top. In order to see the text box I selected the image/shape and under "format" selected "send to back". However, my issue is that if a user clicks anywhere on the image, the text box disappears and when you hover your mouse or click elsewhere on the image, the text box blinks and you have to click on the side of the report in order to get it back to normal. 

How can I make it so if a user clicks on the image, the text box on top won't disappear?

P.S. I don't want to set an image as the page background because I would like multiple images with text boxes on top on the same report page.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi ngalford,

Based on my test, as the desktop is edit view, after we set image/shape and under "format" select "send to back", we need to click on the side of the report to drag the text box on top of a shape. But after we publish the report to Power BI service, “send to back” will make effect in view mode in power bi service.

To work around the issue in desktop, you can expand the size of text box to make it contains the shape/image. As power bi doesn’t support the feature of setting one visual always be back in edit mode. You can submit your idea here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/
