When I select objects in the Workspace, I don't see any highlighting, bounding box or anything that shows what I've selected. Have I missed some config setting somewhere? The only way I can identify the selection seems to be to right-click after selecting -- not a very convenient way to work.

In the Stack\Settings - Desktop\Wire highlight select Objects.

Having 'Object' selected *should be the default, out of the box setting, not 'None'.
Just sayin'.
This also drove me nuts at first (and trust me, it was a short drive) until someone clued me in.
Edit:
The default is Subobjects. :)

Noted, but my point remains the same. Thanks for another clue; I couldn't recall if it was 'none' or 'subobjects', but I knew there was no indication of which object was selected...not very intuitive behavior fresh out of the box, in any case.

Your welcome. The default is Subobjects. :)
