Staff Lee D Posted January 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 24, 2020 Snapping shouldn't make a difference when drag selecting, make sure the Move Tool is being used. There is an option in the apps Preferences > Tools > Select object when intersects selection marquee. This just means that any objects that have overlapping bounding frames are selected as well. If you are still having issues with drag selecting can you do a quick screen recording. The built in help shows what each of the icons are for on the Context toolbar when the Move Tool is selected.
