Editing group mode

[J. Landman Gay]

Wondering if anyone has seen this in Rev 3.5. When I go into Edit Group 
mode and select an object, the property inspector doesn't see it and 
doesn't change to show its properties. Right-clicking an object doesn't 
bring up a contextual menu. The object can't be edited. Returning to 
normal mode, I can select and work with the same objects normally. The 
problem is, I need to change their layering and I can't do that from 
regular mode. (I didn't try changing relayergroupedcontrols yet, because 
of what happened next.)

So I opened the stack in MetaCard, and its control brower doesn't work 
with the objects in edit mode either. Clicking a line in the control 
browser immediately selects a different line. From the message box, 
asking for any control's layer always returns 9 (there are 24 objects, 
some in a couple of sub-groups.) On card 2, when editing its single 
group, all 9 objects there are reported as layer 8. Setting an object's 
layer directly from the message box doesn't stick; the layer doesn't 
change and the incorrect layer is still reported.

My favorite: with an object selected, in the message box:

  put the layer of control 1 --> 9

This happens on all three cards of the stack, in any group. Anyone seen 
this? I'm thinking somehow my stack got hosed.
