Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a PageFrame class using the following code:


    2. 
CREATE CLASS pgfjunk as Pageframe of test
  2. Edit the PageFrame and drop several objects (such as textboxes) on the page.


  3. Attempt to multiselect the objects by holding down the SHIFT key and then clicking on each of the objects on the page.
