Panning Deselects All Selected Items

[rwhitt0724]

I'm back with a new problem I need resolved... I had my ACAD window up and another window up at the same time. I thought I was in the other window and pushed some sort of CTRL+(something) command but it enabled in ACAD since it was my active window. Well, I don't know what I pressed but now when I have something selected (with no command running) and try to pan to select additional items, the panning results in deselecting everything I had previously selected.

 

As you imagine this is quite annoying... I tried searching for something but the only thing I found was the command "pickadd". I tried the different settings for this and none worked. I can not remember what CTRL+ command I pressed... When the window popped up in ACAD, I just closed out of it real quick without (or at least I thought without) clicking anything. I must have changed something but have no idea what it is. Please help! Thanks.

No, that isn't it either. Here is maybe a better description of what is happening:

 

Let's start at a blank screen. No selections active, no commands active. I select multiple items with a backwards selection screen (selects anything the box touches). Now, I want to pan over to the other side of the sheet and select additional items, still with no command active, as soon as I START panning it automatically deselects everything I had previously selected.

 

What is weird in addition to this is that I just realized that I can push the scroll button on my mouse, which activates the panning, if I DO NOT move the mouse and do not actually pan, it DOES NOT deselect everything EVEN THOUGH the pan hand is displayed on my screen as if the panning were active. As soon as I move the pan hand, I'm talking even 1 pixel on screen, it deselects everything. It has never done this before. I know I accidentally clicked something. I just know it. I just have no idea what it was. I thought my ACAD was just acting up so I closed it and reopened it. As soon as I did that I remembered I had just accidentally done something. Since I closed ACAD, the command was not in my recent command list... Now, I'm lost...

Well.... What's also weird.... Is that this appears to only be happening when I'm in viewports... It does not happen in PSPACE or MSPACE... Odd, indeed... Still looking for a solution.

I honestly have no idea what I did but I screwed something up.... I just realized that this is only happening in the single file. And it also not happening in newly created viewports.

 

I guess just disregard this... I'll just make new viewports for anything I need, I guess. If anyone has any input on what might have happened that would be nice but I guess as of now my problem is somewhat solved.
