Selecting edge loops not working.

Double-clicking on an edge will normally select the entire edge loop in both standard view and proxy smoothing view (Keypress 1 and 3 respectively).  I always have problems with the selection in proxy smoothing view if I have geometry errors somewhere on the mesh (e.g. non-manifold geometry).

 

However, I've now troubleshot myself into a corner on this one.  I've used Maya cleanup tool to find and fix every geometry error.  The cleanup tool now returns no errors regardless of which mode I run it in.  The model shows no error symbols on any of the faces.  I still can't correctly select an edge loop.

 

I need to crease some edges before exporting to Mudbox but when I select an edgeloop and switch to proxy-smoothing view the selection splits across multiple unassociated edges.

 

Help please!

Without access to the actual model/file it is almost impossible for me to give you advice.  Please PM me a link to your file so I can take a good look at it.  make sure you don't have any lamina faces.  You may try to merge verts with a very small tolerance to make sure you don't have any sharing a very close proximity.  Again with out the file it is really hard to diagnose a proper fix.  I look forward to your reply.
