The ability to set the visual interaction on each visual individually is a great feature.
If a report contains several visuals, slicers, text fields or even images, that becomes quickly pretty messy.
All items are highlighted during the "Edit interaction", which becomes increasingly difficult to edit them, because some icons are hidden behind another visual. The only solution yet is to move the visual or item out of the way to maintain the interaction icon "behind" it and then move it back in place.
Three suggestions:
1. Only show interaction icons for items, which have a functional interaction. That means, text boxes, frames, pictures ect. which do not have a functional interaction, do not need to show an icon to set interacion. That could reduce cluttering during edit interaction.
2. if an interaction icon is still covered behind another item, the icon should be moved to another place e.g. under the visual, where its still visible
An even better solution would be a separate pane to manage interactions under View -> Show panes, similar to bookmarks and Selection.
