Hi Yenmonger,

> Bug report: selecting a style name no longer
> selects all objects of that style.

Instead of clicking on the name, there is a new selection indicator dot on the far right column to the right of the name:



That shows you the selection state of the item with a full yellow dot if all objects of that slot are selected, and a half dot if some are selected and some are not.

Click on that dot to toggle selection on or off similar to how clicking on the eye toggles visiblity on or off.

When you click on the dot it will only select objects that are not hidden - use shift+click to select all objects of that slot regardless of current visibility state (any hidden objects will become shown if you do that).

Right click on the dot to do an "isolated selection" - it will select the item and deselect all other things.

You can also use Ctrl+click on that same spot to activate a selection filter - when a filter is active only objects that belong to that slot will be targeted for selection actions, so for instance if you want to select all red curves, you can tag Style = Red with a filter, and then go to the Types section of the scene browser and click on the selection indicator for curves and it will only target curves that have style = red. You can push Escape to clear any active filters when you are done using them.
