Black border appears around random visuals
Hi， Anonymous
As far as I know, the issue has been confirmed internally as a known issue. ICM ID: 347527225.ETA_for_Fix: 12/31/2022
Power BI users may see black border appearing for some visuals in Power BI service. More details: When we select report page to other page in “Reading view” , it always positions to a random visual and shows a black border for the visual.It's intermittent and no workaround was found. Engineers are working on the fix.
Please be patient to wait for fixing.

Hi.
Turns out it is not random. You can check this by editing a report page. Just Ctrl+x then Ctrl+v any visual, save the report and then reopen the page. The visual you just pasted will be the one 'bordered'.
It seem that the 'top' visual (located at the front layer of the page) is auto selected when page is opened.
Cheers.
Ps: actually, that is not always the case though. I managed to do this with some of my reports, but not with all of them. Don't know why.
Ps2: In fact, the issue is related to ordering of the visuals. I wasn't able to reproduce the procedure above within PBI service (maybe because of refresh time, or whatever) but, by editing a report on desktop and reuploading the pbix file to the service, it worked. It's not a solution, but you can at least control which visual will be bordered, until MS fix come along.
For me, it looks like the last visual added is effected by the black border, regardless of layer order. Therefore, just add a small box, then layer behind a larger visual to hide it. That will be pretty annoying to maintain overtime, but I don't see another option.
Interesting. For me, it is happening to the first visual I added to my reports...
