select under (alt+click) seems not work ?

I am under Ubuntu Dapper.
I try to select objects under another by repeated (alt+click) and nothing?
am I wrong ?

Thank

Does your desktop use Alt-Click for anything else? In KDE, Alt-Click grabs a window and dragging moves it. KDE captures that input before it gets to Xara, and I wasn't able to Alt-Click select objects until I disabled it.

I am under Ubunter Dapper with Gnome and use the last Xara LX 0.7.

Yep. You'll have to chose a different window movement key in System->Preferences->Windows->Window Movement Key.

And we should be providing an option in LX to chose something different for select under (indeed to reconfigure all the hotkeys).

Sometimes I like to you the tab key also. If you have a lot of items it is not very efficent but sure is fun watching the little rascal jump all over the place.....frank

Another option is to go into the xaralx options under "Mouse Options" and set Right Mouse Button to "Alt+Click". This of course presumes that you don't often use the right mouse button popup menu.

For me, none of the options in that menu are interesting at all (I use the items from the "Arrange" menu by far more often than I need to turn snapping on and off), so this saves some extra hassle configuring your window manager.
