For some reason, I can not select edge loops in my Chess Scene. I am working on a PC in Windows 10 Pro and Blender version 2.77a. This was working a few videos ago when I am working on the Bishop, but for some reason now when I try to select the edge loop around the plane it will only select the single edge I am clicking on. I followed Mike instructions to a T and still not working. I have also tried this in a new file, and the same thing happens. I have been scouring the net for a solution, but I have been unsuccessful. I should also mention that I am holding down the alt button and using the RMB clicking on the edge. I also made sure I am in edit mode.
