also, too many shapes are highlighted. I am using pretty much default code, other than changing the layer names and items. I have a 0 buffer set. At first I thought I was drawing a shape too close to a boundary, but on closer inspection, this does not appear
to be the case. Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
