text frame selection

Hi Armin,

        Is there a good reason why - when you are in a slide - and you click
inside a text box to edit; the frame is not selected such that you
cannot see it, or grab its handles, or resize / move it around easily ?
even being aware it is there is not trivial.

        The behavior here is somewhat unexpected and unfamiliar to me. Of
course after some years of suffering (a bit at least) - I happen to know
that in order to re-position the text it is necessary to click around
above the top-most text - trying to guess where the hit-area is in order
to select the text frame, and then you can move it around but ... ;-)
Empirically this is not true for most people - some are not good at
guessing the location of invisible frames.

        Is there any particularly good reason for that ? I hate to see
customers complain about this ;-) and presumably the fix is not terribly
hard, but ... I thought you might have some insight into the historic
thinking here ! =)

        Thanks !

                Michael.
