can we have shapes without the header section?
I cant put a rectangle on top of my screen, this object header takes some space.
so its hard to align my stuff.

'I found a hack to make this happen.

Using the new July update:
- Create a blank text box
- Make it the background color you'd like
- If you want a top header bar it should work like that
- If you want a sidebar instead extend it down as far as it will go, this will still leave some blank space, to make it the rest of the way click on the text box --> format --> general --> extend height until it goes all the way down the canvas.

I have no idea why shapes function more poorly than a text box but there you go.

Please add text boxes to this list. The header "handle" gets in the way when placing objects in the top/header of a report page wasting space at the top of the page.
