    Hi ansa_naz,

     

    Yes, for your scenario, if you select the rectangle instead of one of the slicers, the slicers will disappear and the shape will highlight, this is a default behaviour.

     

    By my tests, there are two workarounds which may help you.

     

    1. Set the size of the slicers to filled the rectangle shape so that you won't click the other space of the rectangle.

     

    2. Adjust the Background Transparency of the rectangle shape like below.

     

     

    You could have a reference of my test pbix which has been attached below.

     

    Best Regards,

Quick Fix

- First Group the slicers only.

- Create a new group that only includes the Shape with another temporary item (button or anything we'll delete this later)

Now group these 2 groups. 

 

Make sure the Slicer group is on top in the selection pane. delete the temporary item from the second group.

Now you should have two groups inside one group. One contains all the slicers that is on top in the selection pane and the second group which only contains the background is below.
