Make visuals unselectable

[jackhwells]

I noticed in the Gartner Bakeoff report that you had used some filled shapes in the background to produce a nice looking report. E.g. having a blue bar on the left for the navigation pane.

There should be a way (possibly in the selection pane) of making it so an object cannot be selected to prevent this problem.
