Description
Problem Description
It is almost impossible to select certain elements from the designer surface (ex: CarouselPage), and they have to be selected from the Card Structure pane instead.
You should be able to select all elements from the designer surface.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the selection problem on the designer surface with a card containing a CarouselPage, then compare selecting the element there with selecting it in the Card Structure pane. Trace the designer's element-selection entry point and identify why certain elements are excluded. Done means every element can be selected directly from the designer surface.
