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?
try each of these 2 ways:
Hi.
In a multiple object selection, what about holding shift and selecting the particular object again, which would deselect it and leave the others selected.

Seems you're wrong on this. On all previous versions, if you click on an image you select it, and if you do a click again you will activate the Transform handles, for rotate or skew, you never deselect it. There's no difference between XP or Win7 on this point, and aldo there's no difference with previous versions
As John said, if you have several objects selected, you must press and hold down the Shift key, then click to select and click to deselect.
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
