Base layer background shows through on layer
Is there any way to prevent the base layer background from showing through on a layer formatted with a different background? It is as if the two layers are misaligned. The blue line at the top is from the base layer which is background formatted as a picture. The layer with the target is background formatted with a texture fill. I know I can fix it by creating a rectangle to overlap, but it seems that this should not even be an issue. Anyone else know what to do? THANK YOU!

Hi Sylvia
have you checked slide layer properties?
Thanks Wendy. Yes. It is set to hide other layers and hide objects on base layer. It is only the blue background of the base layer that shows at the top edge of the layer, as if the two are misaligned.
Is the blue background the base layer colour or is it a shape sitting on the layer? Is it drawing from a master layout? Can you share the .story file - even just that slide?
It is the base layer background image fill. It is the background and not a separate graphic. No there is nothing on the master slide. I'll work on the .story file.
I was able to put the "offending" slide in a separate file. If you click on the target it will show the layer with the base layer background showing through. Thanks for any help!!!
Hi Sylvia
try resizing the target on the layer so it's wholly within the slide view
Hi, Sylvia.
Thank you for sharing the .story file!
Can you try resizing the target on the layer, so it fits within the slide view?
Let me know if that fixes the issue!
Wendy, that absolutely fixed it! THANK YOU!!!
Glad that helped Sylvia.
