FM 9.0 bug/quirk/limitation?
Nope, I didn't SHIFT-click. Clicked on the tag and clicked CTRL-m to open the Paragraph Designer. and I did click a bunch of other places as well - even the usual "outside the text flow" click trick didn't work. Sigh.

And if you click anywhere else, it should clear immediately. If either of those statements are not true, it is a *Frame* bug, not a Mif2Go bug, and indicates further breakage in the FDK control over the UI. I'm as frustrated as the others who have posted here recently about the severe damage to FDK functionality introduced in 9. We can only hope that FM 10, whenever it comes out, fixes some of these new Frame bugs. -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. http://www.omsys.com/

FM 9.0 bug/quirk/limitation?
This from the Mif2Go User Guide (may not be the latest): 4.4.2 Working with FrameMaker ObjectIDs You can view the ObjectID of a paragraph, table, or graphic on the FrameMaker status bar: Paragraph: Click the paragraph, then Shift-click without moving the mouse. The ObjectID shows on the status bar as the ParaID, a six-digit decimal integer. Table: Shift-click the table. The ObjectID appears on the status line as the TableID, a six-digit decimal integer. (Use Ctrl-click to see the information FrameMaker normally shows on the status bar for Shift-click.) Graphic: Select the anchored frame or named reference-page frame. The ObjectID appears on the status bar as the FrameID, a six-digit hexadecimal number.

I'm not seeing the same problem with FM9, fully patched, on Windows XP. I have seen spurious "Frame ID <#>" messages in the past, though. You can report a bug here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. You might want to specify whether you are using structured or unstructured view and list panels/pods that are open. Mike Wickham

I received an offlist reply from a very knowledgeable list member that this issue might be caused by Mif2go being installed and that I might try disabling Mif2Go to see if it makes the issue go away. So, I will try this approach and see what happens. Thanks!

Ok, To avoid a firestorm and using the word "bug" in the title, has anyone noticed this annoying behavior in FM 9.0 ( all patched, Win 7, 64-bit just to cover all bases). Click in a paragraph style. Notice that in the lower left hand corner of the file/chapter display, you see the expected message: Flow A:
