Default What happened to my selector?

Hey everyone,

I'm running Reaper 2.4.x and I've noticed that now I can't select in the time line (for lack of a better term) before if I wanted to select a portion of track I could just right click and drag in the time line to select it then do what I needed to do with it.

Since I've upgraded I've noticed that I can't do this anymore. Is it something I'm doing or something I need to select in options or deselect? I have been fiddling around in there lately. Or is this feature replaced by something more sophisticated in the latest version of Reaper?

You can still drag in the timeline (the part with the time/measure numbers) to make a time selection. The area *above* the timeline is now used for the edit cursor/scrub handle.

Thanks for the reply. I am trying that but It's not working. In fact what happens is I use the right click and drag to select but I see no selection yet I see the context menu as if I did. Giving me options to handle the selection. Is there an option I need to select to get feature back?

I'm not sure if it's the theme i'm using or the Xenakios commands thing I installed.

I just learned that if I place the cursor where I want and hold down the shift and left or right arrow key, I can select items. So it's still there but I can't do it with the mouse

Yeah!!! it's back. Nevermind. I'm good now. When I used the arrow keys to select I got a dialog box asking me if I wanted to unlocke loop to time selection or something like that. I KNEW it was something that I had done to disable it.

Problem solved! I absolutely LOVE Reaper! So long Adobe Audition.
