%%%I've just built build 26047 on mac osx snow leopard

I was trying to use edge select with ALT LEFT CLICK but instead of doing edge select it rotated the camera

I got edge select to work by turning off "Emulate 3 button mouse" in user preferences even though it says it is off with left mouse button select on

so rotate camera is overriding edge loop select when emulate 3 button mouse and left click select are both on

There seems to be a problem with emulate 3 button mouse not being deactivated when left click select is used.

either this setting is not being turn off internally when left mouse select is being used or should be set to alt right mouse button when using left mouse select

I didn't have this problem in earlier builds with my last build being approximately on january 10th

%%%Confirmed on a Windows build (r26180). You've actually helped me to find a solution for a bug I came across, so thanks :)

I was trying to assign "Alt + Left Mouse" as a shortcut for view3d.rotate, to make view rotation behave like it does in Silo or Maya, but it did not work at all until I disabled the three mouse button emulation.

If it wasn't for this bug report, I would still not have it working, because my settings were at left click select instead of right click, meaning I hadn't noticed the (disabled) option for mouse button emulation yet. I agree, it would be nice if this option would be disabled when choosing for left mouse selection.

btw. Is there still a point in keeping this left/right-select option around while shortcuts are fully customizable now? Even for a known Blender user, I'm still finding it confusing to use "Select" and "Action" to assign shortcuts to, instead of just "Left" or "Right" (or the other way around).%%%

%%%I also have the same problem on windows vista with the build 26211. Some precision on the problem. Still in right mouse select, if i do a ring select, the purple edge ring indicator is showed but when releasing, no selection is affected. While pressing ctrl+alt+lmb, i must move a little my cursor to make my selection. An interactive selection will appear(in orange) corresponding to my position. Not as it should be i think.

To discuss about the left/right-select. "Is there still a point in keeping this left/right-select
option around while shortcuts are fully customizable now?" If you want to generally change the right select to left select, it would take you a lot of time to change all the shortcuts. It is true that there could have a left click preset and a right click preset in blender. But in production, if you share a preset you have done yourself and your partner is not accustomed with right click select. Then it would take him long time to adapt your preset to its needs. I think "Select" and "Action" is better than "left" or "right". I also preserves the presets from unconsistencies.%%%

%%%Dany, the purple edge ring you're seeing is from the loopcut tool. Too many tools assigned to the same buttons it seems.%%%
