I can't remove a specific item from the focus order.

Dec 02, 2021

I've been messing around with this for ever and just can't figure it out. There is an object in the focus order of ALL of my slides that's called "Slide Master - Rectangle" I can't delete it, and it doesn't show up in master view.

I'm really stumped. Where is this rectangle coming from? I've attached four screenshots from two different slides. You can see that they both have the same object, but its not in either of the master slides they use.

Thanks for reaching out, MajorClarity!

Thanks for those screenshot clues! My first thought is you have that object in the Slide Master selected in Accessibility to show up in the focus order. You'll need to switch to the master view to remove it:

Let me know if that helps! Feel free to share your file in this discussion or privately here, and I'm happy to keep looking into this with you!

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I've already tried to locate this object in the master view and it doesn't seem to exist, that's why I reached out. If you check out screenshots 2 and 4 you can see the master view for the two slides. One is a blank template, the other is not, but neither of them have this particular object anywhere in them. And it's not just these two; this object is all over the project. I'll send the .story file privately so you can look at it.

Any insight would be great!
