Transparency of rectangle disappears when saving as fig?

I can't figure this one out from past posts:
I add a transparent rectangle (alpha=0.3) to my plot:
rectangle('Position',[135 0 30 0.2], 'FaceColor', [0.2000 0.8000 0 0.3])
Then I want to save as a .fig file for later data processing:
set(gcf,'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1])
savefig([root_dir,subnum,'/03_TMS/04_EMG_SPs/03_Plots_Tables/Individual_Graphs/',trialName,'_stim',num2str(j),'.fig']);
However, savefig gets rid of my transparency. The examples I could find discussed how to deal with this when you want to keep a transparent background / save as a .png image. How can I save as a .fig file and keep my transparency?

Currently you showed only, how you save the file. A file does not contain transparent objects, but they appear transparently, when you open the file and create a new figure. So please add the code you use to open the figure. Does it set the renderer to painters implicitly? You need OpenGL for transparency.
