after one of the last commits I think, it is impossible for me to select multiple objects by holding ctrl key. holding ctrl just changes the pointer to an hand and nothing gets selected. I'm experiencing a lot of regressions in the last weeks, and I'm afraid at present Freecad seems to be barely usable.
(I didn't actually know in which subforum it was better to post this, opted to post here because it's the one I read the most, sorry if it doesn't belong)

My issue report was inaccurate:, actually ctrl selection works correctly, but selected objects after the first are not highlighted, so it's only a visualization problem, i'll try to look into it. used to work until a couple of days ago. going to check if something has changed on my system since

I have been noticing that too. But in a clean project, I am not able to replicate it yet.

Noticed that too, seems like python features have lost the ability to have several subelements highlighted
In the attached file, you can highlight several subelements of the Part Cube, but not the Arch Structure...

I feel this is a task for...

Can anyone provide a screencast for this problem? I can't seem to reproduce it.
