SSRS Hiding the textbox in a table cell causes the borders to disappear

I have a report with a table in it. And each table cell has borders around it.

The problem I'm experiencing is that if I hide the textbox in any of the cells, the borders also disappear.

I want the textbox to hide but still show the borders.

The textbox in question shows the visibility toggle icons (+/-) so I can't use an iif statement to change the textbox's value to be an empty string when I don't want to see anything in it.

You can place the textbox inside a rectangle.
