hello

ive just updated to 10.5 and ive noticed that now when i try and select multiple objects in the object manager..holding SHIFT...instead of selecting just the objects ive clicked on it now selects all the objects between the two last objects i selected in the list..how can i change this very annoying thing happening?

thanks

Which version have you updated from? It's been like this since 8.5 at least. Ctrl enables you to select objects one by one while holding shift allows to to use a marquee selection.

This behaviour was introduced in R10 to be more in line with OS shortcuts.

And also to allow selections of lots of objects quickly
