Description rabbe 2005-11-21 16:38:34 UTC 
If you have a JFrame form with a number of JButtons on it and multi-select a
group of buttons to copy, delete, etc... it is hard to tell which buttons you
have selected.  It would be nice if a better visual clue were given to know
which components have been selected.

Found this old enhancement, don't really understand what a better visual clue should be. Components in multiselection are painted same as when single-selected, just without the resizing handles. I'd say we don't want to paint them differently. BTW a screenshot of what the problem is (if still valid) would help here. Note that the selection is also visible in the Inspector tree.
