I also had this problem, the same FreeCAD on two systems, on one
selection works, on the other not. On the system where selection did not
work, I started FreeCAD in a fresh user account and selection worked
again. So I traced down the problem to ~/.FreeCAD/user.cfg, where in the
non-working version the values EnablePreselection and EnableSelection
were set to 0. I changed them to 1, selection works again. Below the
user.cfg snipped to the relevant parts. However, I have no idea why or
how these settings were activated, but the system ran 0.13 and earlier
before.
