I don't know what the hell has triggered this change, but consider me triggered as it's adding significantly to the tediousness of my workload.

I need to update charts in some reports I run. I usually click the chart and it shows me highlighted boxes over all the data for the various series in my chart - dates, data.. etc.

Now when I click the chart, it doesn't show me the highlighted boxes over the data. To fix it, I either have to go in to the hellscape that is "Select Data" - or click each element of the chart individually, and that then gives me the option to click and drag the highlight boxes to select more data. But this is very time consuming and fiddly for charts with lots of data series.


This never used to happen, and like a switch has been flicked I have to do it for nearly every chart on my worksheets.

Please help!
