Hi.

The file selection rectangle is gone. How do I get it back? Can't seem to find it under Prefs.

That sounds, as if you have the power mode enabled, which has no selection rectangle.

I actually had to _enable_ powermode to get back the wanted funtionality.

Note that if you have full row selection enabled it can be hard to start the file selection (because you need to click somewhere that isn't a file).
