Cannot adjust attributes or resize image map hotspots

Question

Can't figure this one out. It has worked fine in all prior
versions of Dreamweaver, but for some reason CS3 isn't liking my
image map hotspots.
I can't select the hotspots in an image map in design view
and adjust their attributes in the properties window, or resize
them in the design view. When I select a hotspot, Dreamweaver
immediately selects "Multiple CSS-P Elements". So if I try to
adjust the size of a hotspot it thinks I'm dragging and dropping
the "Multiple CSS-P Elements" and not the hotspot. I can't edit the
hotspot attributes either because the properties of the hotspot do
not stay open; it flashes to the properties of the "Muliple CSS-P
Elements."
I've tried creating a new document and recreating the image
and hotspots, and they work fine. So it must be the way my image is
coded, nested in divs, the CSS applied to the image, or something
that isn't allowing me to adjust my hotspots.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Is the image carrying these hotspots within a parent
container that has the
overflow style set by any chance?
