Trouble w/ Object Layering

I have 3 layers of objects on a sheet as follows:

  1. Background Text Object - this is basically the background for the dashboard and layer = "Bottom"
  2. Straight Table - This sits on top of the background and layer = Normal
  3. Help Text - The green text you see in the screenshot below.. I want it to sit on top of the Caption.  Currently Layer= Top

The problem is when I click something to leave the tab and go back, the green text (#3) disappears behind the straight table..  When I click anywhere on the sheet it comes back.  Can anyone help out w/ this

Thanks

I would try using Custom layering may be like this

1) BackGround Text Object -> 99

2) Straight Table -> 100

3) Help Text -> 101

Yup, That worked.. I had tried using custom but I guess I didn't realize that all of the objects layered had to be in custom mode..

Thanks Sunny.

I thought it was fixed but now it looks like when I navigate to a different sheet (I only have one sheet visible at a time and I have buttons & variables to show/hide sheets) and come back to that sheet, as soon as a click on the background text object, my straight table and container w/ two pie charts get pushed behind the background.

Are you sure there is only one background text object? Custom should never let it come to the front

Hi,

Give custom layout value for background textbox in negative like -90 then check.

Or you can do one thing- instead of using this background textbox, set background image in sheet properties itself.
