Relates to: #36641

%%%Win7 64bit, GTX 560

Blender 2.67b works good, Blender 2.68RC1 doesn't work anymore.

With the last blender releases I usually did this trick to have a direct drag and select effect
http://www.blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?258151-How-to-set-drag-border-selection&highlight=selection

Whit this setings I was able to simply drag and select with box selection. I was able to extend select with shift + drag, and subtract selection with alt + drag.

Now the shift + drag to add elements to the selection doesnt' work anymore.
I attach you my blender appdata forlder for 2.67, so you can replace your with mine, and try that with 2.67b and 2.68RC. Simply drag should work to select vertices. Alt+drag should work to subtract vertices, but shift+drag does nothing. When I say drag, I mean with LMB.

Thankyou!

P.S. I hope a day this behavior will be default for blender. It saves a lot of time when hard modeling! Thankyou!%%%

%%%Same here, also Win7.

Shift+LMB drag now actually deselects instead of add to selection.

Find here the Key Configuration script with only different border select:

%%%Any news on this?

Btw, a quick way to test in default blender is to set Maya preset in the splash screen.
Shift+LMB will actually deselect instead of adding to selection.%%%

%%%I've found solution to this, but still - selection tool should behave without it - it's a clear bug if this keysetup should behave like maya.

Go: User Preferences -> input -> Type "select" in search menu (name selected) -> find under any kind of main points (info, 3d view) option of "border select" -> unroll more options (click white triangle near it) -> window with settings will appear, search UNDER that window, another roll menu "gesture border" -> deselect "deSelect / Mouse / Shift + Left Mouse"

Hope this will save someones frustration :)%%%
