Editing and overlapping graphics

Hi,

I need some help when it comes to drawing/editing.  If I draw a graphic (A) which is fully contained within another one (graphic B) and then graphic B is selected for editing then graphic A is no longer visible or selectable.

Selecting an object for editing appears to be rearranging the graphics in the graphics layer.  Is there a way to disable this?  I want it selected but don't want the order changing.

This is fairly basic functionality so I'm hoping that I'm just missing a setting and one that someone else has come across before

Thanks

Luke

Sorry for the shameless bump on this one but I feel this is a huge issue with editing.  Being unable to select a graphic for editing if it is fully contained causes major problems

I have this issue as well. I have a border/neatline surrounding multiple graphics in the legend. Using ctrl/shift-click, I can only select one of the objects inside the border and then the border becomes selected upon successive clicks.
