Max 9... Object selected that's not selected?

Can't really show what's going on because it's for my company though this happens every now and then.

I just launched max then opened my scene and theres somthing selected but I am not selecting it. I convert to edit poly and click another object it's still selected. Reset xform convert nothing though I have recently unwrapped it if that makes any sense to resolving the problem.

It's a bit annoying more than a problem why is this happening, anyone?

Sure you don't have Selection Lock on? (The little padlock icon near the centre of the toolbar at the bottom of the screen).
Default key for that is Space so it seems likely you might have hit that then saved the file.

Are you sure you didn't set a keyframe for it, and thats not a selection bracket but a "this item is keyed on this frame" bracket?

Hey Ghostscape,

Check that out I had a frame with that object, who-da-thunk-it? Odd how it was both the "J" stuation and an added frame by mistake.

Thanks for that, good call!
