Re: What happened to the ability to select/drag multiple objects from stencils in OG5?

Hi Michael,

The inability to select multiple objects on a stencil is indeed a bug.  
It's been fixed for OmniGraffle 5.1, which is currently coming along  
nicely in beta form:
	http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/beta/

As for the way shared layers work, we'd be happy to talk to you  
through the OmniGraffle support email. Just let us know your thoughts  
at [email protected], and the Support Ninjas will be sure that  
your feedback gets to the right people.

Thanks very much,
