(1.06.1328.11) Targeting:- Drag Selecting not working

[zacklaws]

I have noticed that "Drag Selecting" is not working, using either "ENGAGE TARGET(S) - AUTO" or "ENGAGE TARGET(S) - MANUAL". I can select targets individually though but unable to select a group of targets by dragging.

I am not sure but I have a feeling it was also not working whilst using the previous last 32 bit version (forgot its number) but its a mode I use often especially when all hell lets loose in a dogfight and I need to target targets rapidly and doing them individually can be painfully slow.

The manual says for "Auto Engage-Auto"....."After selecting this function, designate a target by clicking
on a target or drag selecting one or more" so I presume the function has not been disabled. And similar is mentioned for "Manual".

I was unable to run "1328.10" due to my old computer incapable of running it despite being 64 bit so I don't know if the problem existed there also.

I _think_ it is working if you hold down "Shift" while dragging....? (similar to Windows Explorer)

I assume that select by dragging works. Even without pressing shift. It seems to me that multiple select doesn't work with Auto-Engage. Tried it out with Battle of Chomonchin Chan. Press F1 and single select target -> it fires at the target. While pressing F1 and rubber band select doesn't.
Shift+F1 and rubber band select works fine for me. It opens the dialog as expected and multi-select works with shift or ctrl key.

Just tested it out and it works by holding "Shift" and dragging but I'm sure it used work before at some point without holding "Shift".

But even so, if this is how its supposed to work, then the manual needs changing to reflect this.

And I also cannot see a reference in the in game "Hotkeys" under "Help" to also reflect it.

I think it used to work that way in CMNAO. But don't think it has in CMO with all the changes in mouse functions.
