Polygon selection mode problem (Softimage|XSI)

[Adam]

For some reason when I use the polygon selection mode, the selected mesh has all it's faces already selected (highlighted in red) and when I try to deselect them they turn blue when I press the middle mouse button (deselect) and then back to red once I let go. Anyone know why my selected object has all its faces pre-selected already? And why I am unable to deselect any faces?

Nevermind, I got it, I just tryed switching to rectangle selection mode for the polygon selection and all is well now.
