Hi note-distribution,

That sounds very annoying, but I can't reproduce this here; I would need a file to get your problem. With that, I can file a report. Perhaps find an individual workaround.

I understand it should provide an Outline selection even if nothing is selected. (Going by the old suggestion, if nothing is selected, everything is selected. The manual doesn't state that.

Could you please check if this works:

Select all polygons, just one, then use Select Connected.
Then use the Outline Selection function.
Is this working, or is there trouble at one point?

Thanks for your patience with this.

All the best

All the best
