Shapes I create always being underneath even though I put it on the top layer

[wynter_6656]

This is the first time I've encountered this circumstance. You can look at the right of my screenshot, the rectangle I made was put in the front, however, it still appears underneath the black background of parent page. Does anybody know how to fix it? Please help!

Open the effect panel and check the rectangle blending mode.

I guess I need to type faster. 🙂

I figured it out! The default effect of shapes that I created is overlay, idk why they are set up like that but thank you so much! Have a good day sir

What layer is the black background on? Is the rectangle set to overprint or does it have a blend mode or transparency effect applied?

[wynter_6656]

It is, the default effect of shapes that I created is always overlay, that's why it disappeared into the black background, thank you so much!

Is rhe black rectangle on the Master / Parent page? On what layer?

[Peter Spier]

@Robert at ID-Tasker  problem can't be with a parent Page object -- those are always behind objects on the same layer on the document page and rectangle is clearly on top layer.

[...] rectangle is clearly on top layer.

Right, missed that.
