 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Themes        |    Version:  4.7.2
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  template      |
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Setup: Parent and Childtheme (which is activated). In Parenttheme folder
 are several page template files (i.e. page-table.php with /* Template
 Name: Table */).
 Before WP 4.7 i could select those parent theme file in page attribute
 meta box. But now the select field has completly disappeared. It only
 appears as soon as i copy over those parent-theme files into my child
 theme folder which is not the main intention of the overall theme
 hierarchy?!
