They've removed Query Select? Which version? I'm guessing WF5, as
we're on WF4 and it still works for us...

That's approaching a killer reason *not* to upgrade.

Query Select is there in WF4 M140 and WF5 M030. It's there whether prehighlight is on or off. Just slightly different for each.

When you right-click your mouse arrow over something...

and pre-highlighting is on, you just keep right-clicking and it will highlight in succession each of the possible features/entities. Pick the feature/entity you want. You can also hold down the right mouse button and select from the pop up menu the option Pick From List.

and pre-highlighting is off, when you hold the right mouse button down a dialog box will display with either Pick or Query. However, you do not have to hold down the right mouse button to get the Query option. Just by right-clicking and not holding down then it automatically changes to Query. Once you select something then the Pick From List dialog box displays.

You can right-click and scroll through the Pick From List dialog box whether the pre-highlighting is on or off.

Uh....have you guys tried just holding down the Alt key? It stops the prehighlight and still allows a RMB Query / Pick from List.
