Using Windows 7. In previous editions of Coreldraw to deselect a selection all that was required is to click on image. Now it seems one has to right click and click deselect. Apart from being time consuming, it means the previous selection is not visible thus making a revised selection inaccurate. As I have upgraded Windows and Coreldraw, it may be a windows compatibility thing?
It's the eye icon (with the dotted or solid square partially under it)!
When no other options works, the issue is that you have to click the eye icon (marquee mask) which is located under the help menu. The eye icon will have a dotted or solid square partially around it. I don't yet know why the marquee mask is selected when you click an object, but it is. I had tried every other option that I found here and on other websites, and then for some reason I clicked the eye icon and it deselected. You have to try both eye icons to see which one will deselect the object. If you click it again, it will reselect it.

Marquee Mask is only for PhotoPaint, not for CorelDRAW
Let me put it this way: There is a suite of applications called "CorelDraw." Within that suite is Photo-Paint. Because some people seem to have issues deselecting, I assume the issue is that they're in the Photo-Paint application. If not, the various options to deselect would work. Since they don't always seem to work, I assume that they're using CorelDraw Photo-Paint.

Maybe you're right , I just want to clarify because some user will looking for "the eye icon" con CorelDRAW or can't find the right answer. That's all.
