Hi Milena Martinez de Vargas ,

There are a few ways to select all segments, but I can't repro your issue for these +40k segments. All segments are selected (yellow background) in my Trados Studio 2022, build 17.0.3.11695:

It takes less than a second to select them all, so it's quite fast in any way used.

How do you select all segments?

Hi Jesús Prieto ,

Thank you for looking into this.

I've just realised that I was using Trados Studio 2022 - 17.0.2.11672, so I updated it to 17.0.3.11695 but the problem is still the same. 

Tested it now again with a couple of files:

File with 95870 segments - only the first 7601 were selected;

File with 8970 segments - only the first 5438 were selected.

As I mentioned above, the behaviour is the same independently of whether I click on the square in the corner above the first segment or if I use a shortcut.

Just to be sure we understand: you are not using any filters before selecting all segments, as the selection would be applied only to the segments in the actual view. I mean: you select all and then the first segments have the yellow background, and remaining segments from some point on wards don't have the yellow background, right?

There is a third option to select all segments. Because I'm running out of ideas, and just out of curiosity, could you please try the following procedure, similar to what we'd do in Excel?

• Go to the segment #1, and select it (for example, clicking on the left column with the segment number).
• Go to the last segment in Editor.
• Press and hold SHIFT key.
• Select the last segment.
• Everything should have the yellow background.

Does it work?

Yes, that is correct. In those two files I mentioned, I didn't apply any filters, otherwise the segment number and the ratio between selected and not selected segments wouldn't mean much. 

When I do apply a filter and try to select all (filtered, visible) segments (with a shortcut or the square above the first segment) the same thing happens and not all segments are selected. 

Regarding the option to select the first segment, then SHIFT and the last segment - yes, that works well and has always worked well. (But it's not how I want to work. )

I'm sorry I can't upload a video, the files I'm working on now are confidential. I will try to find and run a file that I can share.
