I wonder if he was doing exactly this before, but is now trying to do 
it with the paint selection tool (for working with image objects)?

Just use the standard Edit tool (in the top row of the toolbar in Rev 
2.5).   The tools at the very bottom of the toolbar (after revealing 
them with the triangle) are for working with image objects (paintings), 
not for manipulating other Rev objects, such as fields and buttons.
