problem with table cross-highlighting
When it comes to interactive visuals, only one of them can affect the filter context at a time. As soon as you click an element of, say, another pie chart or bar graph, that filter context replaces the existing one.
The way around this is to use things that work as "slicers". These work similar to the actual filters over on the right-hand side that you can define(visual-/page-/report-level). There's the built-in slicer, and the chiclet slicer in the custom visuals gallery (there may be others).
You can have as many slicer-based filter contexts as you'd like, but only one filter context from the interactive visuals.
It might be worth a feature request, but it also might be one of those things that architecturally just can't (and potentially shouldn't) be changed.

This explanation makes sence somehow. It's just a pitty that this change has so much effect on productive reports.
I'll try to use slicers instead but will keep a feature request in mind.
Thank you for the quick response!
