FrameMaker double-click oddity

[Steve Rickaby]

I'm seeing something odd when I work on FrameMaker files here which I don't see in a new FrameMaker document, to do with selection of text by clicking. These files come from a specific template that originated at another company based in India as far as I know. 

The default behaviour in FrameMaker is that double-clicking selects a word and triple-clicking selects a paragraph, as we all know. In these files:

. double-clicking does nothing

. triple-clicking selects a word

. quad-clicking selects a word as well

. five clicks are required to select a paragraph

Is there anything that could explain this? It all seems a bit sluggish, too, despite the fact that the files aren't excessively large.

I tried MIFing the files, and this odd problem goes away, as does the sluggishness. As a wise friend is wont to write, 'Go figure' ;-)
