You cannot select more than one graphic frame, anchored or unanchored, at a time.

Hi Framers,
<br>
<br>I'm not able to select multiple graphic frame objects. Diagonal dragging to encompass the objects with an invisible border only selects the last one over which the cursor passes. Using the shift-click-drag method gives the same result. Clicking the individual items' edge, with and without any modifier key I can think of, gives the same result. These graphic frames are not anchored. They often overlap the main text flow frame, but are not fully within it.
<br>
<br>Ctrl+A grabs the main flow and any graphic fully within its text frame, but no graphics that partly overlap the frame. On a page with no main flow elements, ctrl+A grabs all text frames but only two of three graphic frames.
<br>
<br>I've tried both the smart arrow cursor and the dumb one.
<br>
<br>What am I missing?
