Using Rhino 8 with a lot of objects in a file, there is a very noticeable lag during object selection. This is not great, but I am used to it. What I am not used to, however, is this lag interrupting the detecting of the shift key when adding to a selection. Sometimes, the shift key will not be detected and then everything will be deselected, when the intent was to add to a selection. This seems to be new behavior in Rhino 8. I don’t think I experienced this problem in Rhino 7.
I have created a video demonstrating this behavior, starting from an empty file, so it should be reproducible.

Hi Will - thanks, nothing leaps out at me here - your gpu drivers are maybe a little old, I’d update those from the ATI and NVidia websites to the latest, but I’d be surprised if that turned out to be a full cure.
That said there are a lot of objects in your example… I can see the delay in selection with this scenario, though here Shift seems to work so far.
I just updated the Nvidia driver to the latest (6 days old) and that didn’t change anything. I haven’t immediately found updates for the ATI driver, but I will try that if/when I find it. I have disabled a few plugins to try to decrease Rhino’s loading time and speed things up.
Thanks for attempting to recreate the issue. It is a very specific click pattern that creates it, you have to select something, then hold shift and select the next thing. If you hold shift the entire time Rhino seems to behave normally. The interruption happens when the first selection creates some lag and THEN you press shift to start your next selection.
Try my same quick succession of selecting but select a LOT of objects each time. I think that makes it easier to recreate.
A lot of my work involves files with a lot of objects in them so I run into this issue on a semi regular basis.
