ok i'll post screens grabs if need but for now just the text version.

Simple enough, I'm using PS 7 on an PC. I draw a simple box path with four points. Then hold "Ctrl" and click it. That turns it into a selection. If i draw another box around that. (a square dounut) and "Ctrl" click the path all i get is a large box selection. Not a dounut selection. If i do the same thing in v 5.5 (that i have a work) no matter what type of path i drawn it selects every line.

The really annoying part above the above problem. It is not all the time. I have repeated it, after starting a new file. And have called up old files from a long ago as a month. Created the above path type and most of the time it will not work. GRRRRR But, it has worked a few times. I just can't find a common factor.

Thanks for any help?
