Selected items in 3D don't stay selected after editing

Does anyone know why anything i select in 3D will not stay selected after I make a change? I have to reselect in order to make more changes on the info box. This did not happen in AC11 so maybe it is a preference that I am missing?

I am getting this too, even after the last hotfix. It would be great to have this fixed or to know where the correct setting is if I am missing something.

Maybe I am missing something but mine stay selected. Anyway, Undo and Redo can be used as a work around AFAIK.

B,

I am using Os X and it is working fine. But I am in 10.5.5 and he might be using another version or probably Windows ME, sorry Vista.

hmm that's interesting about 10.5.... it may be related i guess
regardless... this has been a complete grind for me today... and it's not limited in 3D window (actually often when in 3D things work better) it's happening on plan: i select something and holding shift i wanna add to my selection, i get the pause/beachball and it may or may not work; i try to pick up properties and because it's sooo slow pausing etc it ends up selecting rather than picking up properties; i zoom in and out and although whatever i selected appears selected, the info box is empty!

This happens to me in plan, section, elevation, and 3D. I didn't notice until I'd installed the hotfix. Before that, I didn't yell at my machine nearly as often, so I'm assuming that the Info Box maintained the info for the selected item before the hotfix.
