Looks like you are trying to use --filter branch_region.
Please read the filter section of the genhtml man page.

If you still have a problem: please try to include a testcase which exhibits the issue.
It is far, far easier to debug from a reproducible testcase than to guess from a screenshot.

as described above: pilot error.
Closing now.
