This regression is fixed in the latest ImageJ daily build (1.49p13).

The ROI Manager’s “Update” command still works. You can move, resize, add to (by holding down shift key) or subtract from (by holding down alt key) an ROI, click “Update” and the ROI will be updated. What you can no longer do is use “Update” to replace an ROI in the ROI Manager with another ROI, but why would you need to do that?

This bug is fixed in the latest daily build (1.49p13).

Only the first ROI is shown because, except in an overlay, ImageJ can only display one ROI at a time.
