BUG Cant Use MMB to transfrom face/edge/vert after deselecting using ctrl button

[philip.bretschneider]

i have been having this problem ever since Maya 2019 came out, the steps that i have listed works as intended in object mode but as soon as you select with the face/edge/vert it does not move what you have selected, instead it drag selects an area. its a small but annoying bug as i use the middle mouse button to move objects all the time and now it pretty much slow down my work.

so to replicate the problem do this:

1. select multiple face/edge/vert 

2. deselect with ctrl button (deselecting with shift does not cause the problem)

3. manipulate the object

the result is that your middle mouse button will start selecting objects instead of manipulating the selected face/edge/vert. If its not a bug and it is intended, is there any way of changing it so that it works as deselecting and using the MMB in the object mode

Hi Philip,

I can reproduce this behaviour and have opened an internal issue to track this. I'll report back if I get more information.

Thanks.

Hi Philip,

The only workaround I can think of is to MMB with your cursor over the selected components after deselecting. (which I know is not the most convenient workaround)

Thanks.

its really not the most practical solution but it will have to do untill the bug gets fixed, thank you for oppening an issue for this
