Quick select is not permitted in perspective view

I grew some grey hairs on this one. Consider this post as my forwarding of information from this AUGI forum post. Mike.Perry posted this fix on July 22, 2004. Scroll down to his last response for the fix.

This also fixed my problem where I couldn't select objects to edit. Also if I regen my drawing they would disappear. I was ready to block my line work into a fresh new drawing file.
