Marquee select not working properly in maya 2015

[brummerke90]

Hello!

I've used maya2012 for a while now, but I've recently installed 2015.
For some reason using the standard marquee to select a bunch of vertexes works when you start the selection outside of the object, but it can't be started when your mouse overlaps any faces of the object.
It also works if i select a vertex, and then shift+select from inside the mesh.

This is very problematic as i don't see a reason why it shouldn't work like it did in maya 2012.
I've tried looking at the selection preferences but it didn't seem like something there would help me, I've tried a few options like backface culling and camera based selection, but nothing helped.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

Noone has any idea?

It doesn't break all the time, i don't really know what it depends on.

I am having the same problem. Any ideas?

Besides holding down ctrl + shift, try these:

1) Disable pre-select highlight

2) Switch to the modeling toolkit gizmo where the bug doesn't exist

Oh thanks, i think turning off pre-selection highlight fixed the problem for now, at least i haven't had my selection break for a few hours at least.
