Deselect Problem

Sorry if I am duplicating earlier posts.

I find it very annoying trying to deselect when there is not free space in the working area.
Is there any way to deselect by clicking out on the sides of the UI? (See image)

PS I have been working on the Rhino boat tute of a few posts back--as an old keelboat owner, adding "artistic" modifications!
(Well why not!)
