Multiple selection with Ctrl not working on bones.

JayW

On PC using 4.2.30, and as of this morning I can't use to CTRL to select multiple bones in the viewport. I select first bone, hold CTRL, then click another bone but it does not add to selection. The bones all have 'Select' checked in the properties, and selectable bones are enabled in the viewport panel. Restarting didn't help.

I can still multi-select images/slots etc in the viewport, and I can use CTRL to multi-select the same bones in the in the tree view, but not in the viewport. This is proving insanely frustrating when animating!

Is this a bug or have I somehow turned off something somewhere?

Update: If I have a bone selected, it seems to take a fast triple click (or sometimes double click?) to select the second bone, and then the multi-select works as normal and I am able to single click to add/remove bones from selection.
A double click or even multiple slow consecutive clicks on the second bone does not select it.

This is ONLY happening with bones in viewport, works normally with images/slots and in the tree view.

Very strange!

Sorry about that! Thanks for letting us know. We'll get it fixed in 4.2.31 ASAP.

It happens because a drag is started immediately when ctrl is down. We fixed a different situation where a drag was registering as a click, but it had this unexpected side effect.

Wow fantastic! I'm actually getting used to the triple click functionality now 🙂
