Anyone else having trouble with the control browser when trying to edit
objects in a background? Frequently I click on an object and it
immediately unselects. I can change the object via the message box
(i.e., set its color or layer, etc.) and I can select it manually with
the edit tool.

It may be because I'm working on so many HC conversions. I've set the
HCAddressing to false but it doesn't help. The same behavior occurs in
Rev sometimes, so it may be HC-related. Thought I'd check.


Does not happen here.
If I click on an object in a group, the Control Browser immediately switches to display all group objects and the selected object stays selected (WindowsXP, Metacard/Rev version 3.5).

Were you in editBackground mode? Selections work okay if I'm not editing a background and I have selectGroupedControls turned on. If you were in editBackground mode without any problem, then maybe it's something about these HyperCard imports I do. It happens to me pretty frequently, but only since engine version 3.0 (or around that time, I don't remember exactly when it started.)
