headus 3D tools

Hello, I am a staff modeler at Method Studios. We just upgraded to the newest linux version of UVlayout, and now I am unable to use the "tag straight edge - axis aligned". In the previous version, I could hit "i" to select the first edge, then again on the last edge, then in the middle holding "shift i" to select the edges in between. Now in the new version, I am totally unable to select one edge. Instead of one edge, the edge select goes way too far and I am unable to select the edges I want. It seems like the tool is way too sensitive. Is there any way to adjust things so I can just select one edge at a time. I have tried holding the i key down, and it wlll hold on one edge, but as soon as I letup on the "i" key, it selects the same huge amount of edge, and "shift I" wont clear any edges as it did in the previous version either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug Wolf

Since v2.08.00, the I and K hotkeys duplicate the behavior of the C hotkey, including the "D" drag mode for drawing out edge loops. So if you just want a single edge selection, switch the edge tagging mode to either "0" (i.e. no extension) or probably better, "D" for drag mode.

In drag mode, tap "I" to select one edge, or hold "I" and move the mouse pointer to pull out an edge loop selection.
