gtwatson77459,
Perhaps you clicked on its icon?

14.09.12 Added: Left click on file icon selects/unselects just that file (32/64)
07.04.13 Added: Select files by clicking on their icons also in single click start mode (click on name launches file/opens folder) (32/64)
01.09.13 Fixed: Double click on a folder icon selected the file at this position in the opened subfolder (32/64)
01.09.13 Added: Turn off selection of files by clicking on their icons: wincmd.ini [Configuration] IconClickSelection=0 (32/64)

It should be mentioned that it was fixed in 8.50b2.

BTW it is more correct to do double-click onto icon than name (to get rid of inplace rename attempts).

This should indeed be fixed since beta 2 - are you still using beta 1, or is this a new bug?

You are correct. I was still using Beta 1. I got the latest Beta and it looks like the highlighting of files was fixed.

I don't think I was clicking on the file or icon. It would happen when I clicked on a folder and when the selection changed to that folder, one of the files or sub-folders would be selected (in red). Maybe my mouse pointer would be near the red file or folder but I would have to right click to un-select the file or folder.

I just wanted to say, TC is such a great piece of work. I use it all day every day to do all my file tasks and I really appreciate its features. I am totally lost when I get on a computer that does not have it and I have to struggle with standard Windoze functions. I have used it for many years (probably Win 3.1) and I keep finding things I did not know it did. Thanks for all your hard work.
