template objects--and nothing else!

[Howard Bornstein]

This is a weird one.

I started editing a stack I've been working on. I go to draw out a new 
field. The cursor changes to cross hairs and I drag out the field. Only 
nothing shows up on the card. I look at the Property Inspector and it's 
labeled "the templatefield".

When I click on a button in the tool palette, the property inspector 
changes to "the templatebutton". If I click the graphics tool, the 
PropInspector changes to "the templategraphic".

Strange! Since these are all virtual objects, I can no longer add any 
objects to my stack. If I click an existing object, the property 
inspector shows the appropriate info. I *can* duplicate an existing 
object to add something new to my stack, but if I don't already have this 
kind of object, I can't add anything new!

If I create a new stack, and click a new tool, the property inspector 
still says "the template(object)" but as soon as I go to draw the object, 
the propInspector changes to the right kind of object. Then if I click 
another tool, it goes back to "the template(object)".

Anybody have any idea what's going on here? (Rev 2.01, Mac OS 9.2.1)
