3dsmax Double click no longer selects child objects
mod
On Friday I lost the ability to double click on an object and have it select all of the children objects. I worked around it and didn't feel like restarting 3dsmax or my machine which I figured would fix it. I get in today and the same problem.
I've trolled through the preferences and keyboard shortcuts, and help ref files, found nothing. I reset the UI and I'm about to reinstall 3dsmax (after backing up half a dozen scripts and custom plugins) but I have to wait until our IT guy is back in. Google doesn't seem to be much help either =/
It's kind of a pain in the ass to animate an 8 legged octopus without this abality.
I'm pretty sure it must have been some fluke keyboard stroke that toggles "select childern on double click" or someone being a particularly cruel, which a few people have been known to be... no doubt if this is the case its payback for April 1st...

EDIT: I started using schematic view (double click select worked there) and after saving and re-opening the file it works in the viewport now.
Crazy-ass-shit.
I suspect they broke something when they added that functionality to bones in 2009. I fired off a bug report and an example file. It doesn't work in the example file unless you use schematic view at least once, then save and re-open. We'll see what Autodesk has to say about it...
