    Hi,

    I've recently upgraded to Mapinfo2019.1 and noticed everytime I click on a layer/table it creates a new query instead of "Selection" .

    So i'm ending up with huge numbers of queries. how do I change this back to showing just "Selection" when i click single/multiple objects instead of making a new query every time?

    Thanks,

    Hi Rajiv

    Typically, MapInfo Pro renames the Selection to QueryN when you start using the selection, for example if you show it in a browser or similar.

    I just tried it in my MapInfo Pro and I'm able to select one record at a time and stick to the Selection only. It's not being renamed to QueryN for every new feature I add to the selection using the Selector in the map window.

    Do you have any tools running that might react to the change in the selection? Are you clicking o the features in the map window one at a time to select them?

    Thanks for the reply Peter,

    My work I.T. support figured it out, as you said as well, it was a tool that called 'Mask' that was creating the problem.

    Unloading the tool fixes the issue.

    Thanks Rajiv,

    Let me take a look at that tool and get that issue fixed.

    Thanks for raising this Rajiv. I had the same problem and it has been resolved by removing the mask tool. I am having another problem which  may have a similar cause. I am using Mapinfo 19.1. None of my right click menu options work on tables  displayed in the Explorer window. I have to go to the ribbon bar to do anything- even to delete the table
    . The right click action symbols look active (i.e. not greyed out). Any suggestions.

    Hi Jodi

    When I right-click on a table in the Table list, I still get the context menu.
    And I can also, for example, browse the table in a browser window via the context menu

    Do you not see the context menu when you right-click on a table, or does nothing happen when you click on one of the items in the context menu?

    Hi Peter,

    I can see the menu but nothing happens when I click on it. I have tried it on an older version of Mapinfo that I have installed and the context menu works properly on that so I know that there is something wrong. I actually noticed it after I had been away on holiday back in January and had a temp working my system so I don't know what they might have done but it has never worked since. I have just installed the new 19.1 but that did not fix it either.

    I closed a few tools down also but no luck.

    Thanks

    jodi

    That sounds weird. I assume that you have selected a single table in the Table List before right-clicking?

    You might have to reach out to our Tech Support so that they can set up a screen sharing session with you. Write to them at software.support@pb.com.

    Hi,
    I saw this post a couple of weeks ago and thought that sounds odd, but didn't think more of it.
    Then just today I just started seeing similar strange behaviour.  I'm selecting polylines in a map window with the cursor. After each manual selections I see "Selection" listed as a query for a second or fraction of a second before changing to "QueryN".   However I'm not doing anything with the query which would change it from "selection" to QueryN. Sometimes it happens in a blink of an eye.
    I don't have the Mask tool loaded. I'm using MapInfo 2019.2.
    I closed and reopened MapInfo and it appears to be working normally again.
