selection problems
 

After I touched a wrong key I think it screwed up my selection process. That is, when I have something selected, it doesnt matter where my mouse pointer is, it will move the selection - whereas normally the selection area only moves when I click on the selection box. Does anybody know how to set this option to default? Its pissing me the hell off.

nubie here so dont take me for granted ...
when i type somekind of shortcut which get me confused i reset the prefs. not very elegant but works for me (most of the times) ....

cool, I'll give that a try.
But actually what helped me was exiting out of the program and restarting. *shrugs* Thanks for your help!
