You do?  I just tried my own copy of MacDraw II 1.1, and this problem most
definitely did NOT occur.  Everything worked exactly as expected.  I don't
remember the problem being in MDII 1.0, either, but maybe it was.  If so, 
and that's the version you have, call Customer Relations at 408/727-8227
and those nice folks will send you a new copy.

If it happened, then it was definitely a bug, and it's definitely already
been fixed.
