I cannot seem to select or deselect objects in fireworks by clicking on them. I have to click and drag in order to select an object and click and drag to deselect. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or how I can fix this? Thanks.

      Check your layer options and make sure that Single Layer Editing is not selected.

      Check also to see if you've accidentally locked all the layers.

      Another option might be the active tool. You won't be able to select vector objects if a Bitmap tool is active, for example.

      It doesn't appear to be a layer option. Also when I make a selection with the marquee tool, I can't cancel my selection by clicking outside of the canvas or selected area, I have to click and drag 1px to cancel the selection. It seems that anything I could do by doing a single mouse click, I now have to do using a click + drag. Thanks for your answer tho.
