RE: Remove Overrides...doesn't
Stuart is right. I have done it several times. Sometimes I catch it, sometimes not. It's really strange to edit some text on the page and see the original text still there as well. But resizing or moving the main text frame on the page reveals the original text frame underneath. The Ctrl-click-drag works on more than just text frames. I've had it happen on graphics frames and all types of graphic objects. Sometimes it's a nice shortcut but mostly it's a pain in the ... neck. :-) Is there any way to turn the feature on and off?

Next Pgf Tag is Broken in the Paragraph Designer 8.0p273
I use FrameMaker 8.0p273. This version ignores the setting in the Paragraph Designer "Next Pgf Tag" on the Basic tab. I get only a duplicate of the previous paratag, regardless of paratag selected in the pop-up. This always worked in all previous versions. Does anyone know a fix? Has this been squawked to Adobe?
