How do I select a group of clips?
When I draw a rectangle to select a bunch of clips it also selects parts of other clips. I don't like this behavior. 
How can I make it work like before (X1 and previous version)?

Use ctrl + click

I think they change the behavior of the lasso tool so that you just have to lasso a tiny bit of the clips. I think the old way required lassoing around the whole clips. Are you touching the unwanted clips with the lasso?

I may be way off on this because I haven't played with it too much but I seem to recall this being mentioned in one of the vids.

Go back to using X1!!!!!!!

They changed the behaviour - there's a right click drag and left click drag which select clips differently.  I find this way better than before - you just need to learn a new method.  Took me about 2 minutes.
 
<EDIT>
Nice pic Bajan - is that Table Mountain in the background there?  I lived in Newlands when I was a splinter.

Yep, left click and drag selects a range over multiple clips. Right click and lasso will select any (whole) clips the lasso touches.

Ah, right. That's it. Please ignore my previous post.

Hi Bajan,
I don't really like going back ;-)
Maybe I just missed something...maybe its the right click.
I have to try or maybe read in the help files.
Are you from Cape Town?
I am heading there tomorrow.

take care
