Description

Hello, I downloaded 2.79a (for Linux 64 bt) several times: but still not able to select " edge" with the Alt Key or shift Alt key. I tried several times, and each time in download the program, I am not able to select the entire edge.

I am using Linux - Ubuntu Mate 64 bit --Nvida graphic card. (very new computer) system 76. However I was using another computer prior to this new one and I notice the problem there
(32 gb ram

I also downloaded the 2.80 and I am able to use that with "Shift Alt"

On another matter. Linux Ubunto software does not have the latest versions.. they have version 2.76. can you please ask them to upgrade they package?

There are known problems with some graphics cards when using Multisampling, also called FSAA or Fullscreen Anti-Aliasing.

This can be disabled in the User Preferences:

User Preferences -> System -> Window Draw Method -> (Set to 'No Multi-Sample')

Also, this can be set in the graphics cards preferences,
there is often an option to override, or let the application choose.
You should set to let the application choose.

This causes problems with the selection-buffer under some configurations,
Blender disables this via OpenGL API, but some drivers ignore the request.

Could you see if this is causing the problem?
