bug: Arrange to back still in front of other shapes

I want to use a rectangle behind a few AWS Cloud rectangles.  Most of the time this works, but for this one instance, I can’t get the generic rectangle behind the AWS Cloud shapes, even though the Arrange menu shows it’s already in back.  Is there some sort or reset beyond re-loading the browser page that might nudge this?  I have a screenshot if I can figure out how to attach it.

Hi ​@andrew.searls

Thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! The AWS Cloud shape you have on your canvas is considered a “Container” shape. The purpose of Container shapes is to “Contain” other shapes, therefore the function Send to back for your rectangle is not available. Rather than using our basic Rectangle shape, I would recommend using our Rectangle Container shape. They look the same, but have a different functionality. This will allow you to arrange your AWS Cloud shapes in front of your rectangle. 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
