[APu 2.2.1954b] When using titles spanning out of the text frame, I cannot select the other frame beneath this title

[Fantomas.CZ]

Hi everyone, I have a following problem:

On the image beneath, you can see the first two lines - the title, that spans out of the text frame (outlined in blue). This is the only way, how to keep the text separated into two columns - one with the original Latin text, and one with the translation, and a title, that spans and gets centered over the entire page - two separate text frames. This has been recommended to me here at the forum, and work well for me - with one exception.

If I want to select any text in the left frame, where also the expanding title originates, I have no problem. However, if I want to select a text in the right frame, that happen to lie beneath the title on the same page, the right frame doesn't get selected at all. The only way to select text or even place a caret anywhere on the page in the right frame beneath the title, is to click anywhere else, to the right of the title (see an image beneath). Then I can select anything else too, in that frame.

While this is not a matter of life and death, it would be better, if only the text spanning from the frame would be selectable, and not that clicking on anything beneath it would select only the left frame. 

On other pages, it's fine. I've included a sample file, so you can try it yourselves. If you need the fonts, I may include them too, while this shouldn't be font-related. I have seen similar behaviour on older betas to, but as far as I remember, not in the current release version.

Thanks for the consideration, have a nice day!

Hi @Fantomas.CZ,
To select the second text frame press and hold alt and click the second text frame (this is also also applicable to other objects when you want to select something behind an object or more).
I see the issue you're mentioning and indeed the first text frame is not overlapping the second so the second should be also selectable without using alt. The expanded title seems to  be causing the behaviour. I will talk with the dev team to see what they say.

Thanks, Alt + click works!

Yes, I guess this is not exactly a standard layout, but still, I would find it more logical, if the program considered as primary only the expanded part of the text, and not the entire rest of the page beneath it, where it has no use whatsoever. Thanks for bringing this up with the dev team!
