Hi Achim,

Thanks for sharing. I understand exactly what you are describing because the same thing happened to me, and I already reported it as a bug to the team in charge of that functionality. This actually happens when you Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click the border of your selection. If you can deselect your background shape by clicking it without clicking too close to the border of your selection, it should work. Please let me know if that works for you.

Hey Lance,

thanks for your reply - however your workaround helps a bit, even if it is not working exactly like you described it. I click on the shape body not too close to the border and then I have to move the mouse outside of the shape in order to deselect it.

It’s really annoying :-)

Best
Achim

​@Achim Thank you for your follow-up and for letting us know! This has been reported to our development team. I apologize for any disruption this may cause. We will update this thread with any new information about a fix. Please follow along this thread for updates, and post any additional questions or concerns below.

I am seeing this bug as well. The workaround proposed by Lance worked for me. Instead of clicking on the shape border, clicking somewhere near the border worked to de-select the shape.

It was a little frustrating to figure out and wasted about 15-20 minutes for me.

Hi ​@trevorsg, thanks for responding to this thread and sharing feedback about the workaround!

Ctrl-clicking the border of a selection box is currently not working as expected. I apologize for any disruption this may cause to your workflow. This has been reported to our development team, and I will update this thread with any new information about a solution. 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns in the meantime!
