You'd know right away if you did encounter it. Imagine you only have two figures in the scene, and there is plenty of surface on each visible to select. You click the dropper tool on FIGURE 1 skinBody, and then tweak the material settings, only to have the effects show up on FIGURE 2. Just to be sure, you click on each figure somewhere on their skinBody area, but only one of the figures gets changed, no matter which figure you just clicked on. Fortunately, it's not a show stopper, and can be fairly easily gotten around by using one of the manipulation tools to select the figure you want.
