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.)
