[Glade-users] The composition of different Glade files

[Justin Paston-Cooper]

Hi,

Thanks for the help. When I select a VBox with left click, and then right  
click in the inspector, all that happens
is the inspector turning blue. Could this be a problem with Glade 3.4.5,  
or am I doing it wrongly?
