Likely because you're usually using 'New' setting. The New and Add (+) work the same, but the individual select (ctrl, pick) only works with 'New'. I switch between the 2 depending on what I'm doing.

Yes, I'm well versed in the command function, Just did not expect the change in behavior from v8i to Connect. Plus I have a multitude of work arounds for various bugs etc. with Connect.

Kind of surprised I never came across this solution by accident as I do switch back and forth between new and add mode.

Yes, using new selection set does behave better. But I often switch from "new" to "add". Perhaps I can always use "new" and simply modify how I use the command.

thanks!

Right, as Doug said make sure you have selected the first icons (that sometimes slips to other selections that is when you get such "unexpected" behaviour)

Could be a case of you wanting the selection tool to always start with single and new.

I created a custom Element selection tool that uses the chain of Key-Ins

choose element;powerselector single;powerselector mode new

I just tried that and it worked for me (holding down the control key to remove a single element).

Running the same version as you.
