title: Stopping mouse selection in Visual Studio
body: <p>I don't know what key combination I did, but now each time I click somewhere in the page, Visual Studio selects the text between first and second mouse click.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to escape from this "selection mode", but nothing helps, nor Escape, nor left clicks, nor Ctrl+Up/Down. 
  I opened another VS window and there is all right - normal selection.</p>
  
  <p>What is it, how to cancel it, what is it for?</p>
  
  <p>I should probably restart Visual Studio. I remember that that happened some times ago in VS 2005. Very annoying VS "feature".</p>
  
  <p><em>P.S.</em> It disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, but I found similar problem described <a href="http://www.visualstudiodev.com/visual-studio-setup-installation/visual-studio-2008-always-in-select-mode-with-mouse-74.shtml" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. The guy says that "The only way to stop is to press escape or shift and an arrow key."</p>
