Shapes are useful for adding background formatting to pages. However, if accidentally selected, they move to the front and obscure anything in the same location until deselected. This can be very jarring and confusing to viewers.
PowerBI should allow marking a shape as 'locked' to prevent interactions in View mode that would trigger this behavior.

RE: Lock out selection of shapes and widgets
It's one of the user's complaints. It's important to allow the 'lock' option and no confuse the users.
RE: Lock out selection of shapes and widgets
as a designer, I struggle with this right now, it would be an awesome thing if you could 'lock' the shapes so no one can click on them

Wow! I suggested similar feature yesterday. Was redirected to this post. You made this post LAST year! :D
MS has still not responded or even acknowledged that its an issue! :(
I lost all hopes now
Qlikview is winning over PowerBI, as each day passes I am losing arguments with my colleagues on why we should switch to Power BI :(
RE: Lock out selection of shapes and widgets
Good idea, Aaron. Our users get confused when an entire tile disappears because they clicked on an element we use in the background for appearances only. We also have issues when users hover over a tile, and the outline of the tile appears. It obscures other elements (text often). We spend time to make the reports visually appealing and need the ability to keep them this way.
