Lock out selection of shapes and widgets

[ASCHULTZ1]

Shapes are useful for adding background formatting to pages. However, if accidentally selected, they move to the front and obscure anything in the same location until deselected. This can be very jarring and confusing to viewers. PowerBI should allow marking a shape as 'locked' to prevent interactions in View mode that would trigger this behavior.

Completely agree. This should be a bug and not a feature request.

There are a ton of suggestions like this - really hoping it gets noticed and changed

This bug is the main reason why we can't implement a slicer pane (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy9nmSQeUWg)
