1. Please open the attached file.
2. Make sure you have Smart Guides enabled (and Object Highlighting enabled as well in Preferences > Smart Guides) and Snap to Grid disabled.
3. Hover your cursor over the yellow circle — you will see a blue edge highlighted.
4. Hover again, but over the black cross — Illustrator won’t highlight it.
5. Open the Layers panel and study the object tree — yo will see that the Radial Repeat is grouped.
6. Select it, ungroup it, and try to hover over it again — now Illustrator will draw the edges.

Notice that Illustrator still won’t tell you the name of the object: nor Path, nor Line (which is not though), nor Radial Repeat — boooh.
