Images selected in iPhoto remain on screen and visible in other apps

Running iPhoto '09 and quite often when we select multiple images to share via iMessage or email, those images then stay on the screen and are visible no matter application you have active.  iPhoto becomes unresponsive and the only resolution is a full restart.
It happens with both JPEG and RAW files, when we select 2 or 22 images.  But, it does not happen every time.
Any suggestions?
Running 10.9.5 on a 27" iMac
iPhoto library is located on an external drive.
Thanks in advance.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.
