Shift Key not operating properly

Hi yall when I try to de-select an object (using grips) holding down the shift key I cannot. Does anybody know of a system Variable or setting that disables this handy feature? bty if I hold shift and right click my opsap menu comes up like it should so I believe the keyboard still operates.

 

Thanks

Andrew

I have these tabs.

In options, in the Selection Tab look for Selection modes and check to see if the "Use Shift to add to selection" is checked. I personally prefer it set to this, a whole lot of reduced hitting the escape key during the day.

I prefer leaving that option off, and I program one of the extra buttons on my mouse (Logitech MX Revolution) to behave like the ESC key, so I can hit the button on the mouse to deselect items.
