Please consider adding functionality to give the report author more control of shapes, textboxes and images. This functionality might include grouping, disabling selection, etc.
This would enrich the options for organizing data onto the report page and will remove all those unnecessary grey lines and rectangles that the user sees when hovering over the controls

Several of these items have been implemented - including grouping, editing interactions, new shapes, etc.

RE: Better control over the shapes, textbox and images
Would like to be able to be able to disable selection of some objects. Have created some nifty dynamic title bars but do not want them to be clicked on by mistake
RE: Better control over the shapes, textbox and images
Also please add the support to rotate the text box 90º and also right to left text support.
RE: Better control over the shapes, textbox and images
I agree. Since you can "dashboard" these visuals you HAVE to be able to make them pretty. Quite honestly, I don't see the point of shapes if not for this single purpose. Please add this functionality as it is a MUST for report designers.
RE: Better control over the shapes, textbox and images
This feature request can be combined with this one.

RE: Better control over the shapes, textbox and images
Disabling selection is really needed. Currently if you put a rectangle behind several items as a grouping it is too easy for the user to then click on the rectangle which brings it to the front hiding all your actual visual controls.

Reading mode should be read only... Make it so.
