Problem with (wrongly changed) cursor selection settings

Anonymous

Hi!

I must have changed something in my cursor settings during work, and it's ruddy anoying, specially that I can't find where to change it back...

The cursor with left click highlights for example lines but not fills and objects are highlighted/selected with the same move. I can only select these if clicking somewhere near or inside the fill/object than after a small x have appeared -from which- I can pull out a "marquee" which then in turn selects the fill/object (and anything else in the range). What have I done...?
See attached pict as well...
Tried the arrow tools settings, geometry methods, selection methods but nothing seems to resolve the issue.

Thanks for your input in advance 😉

You have Quick Selection turned off. Click on the magnet button as shown.

Note that with quick selection turned on the Spacebar temporarily disables it (when held down)
