    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,
