Reconciling of account

[Ken G.]

While reconciling my checking account yesterday, I was annoyed at having 
to individually check off the little square boxes by using the mouse and 
clicking each box, one at a time. It was so much easily in the past to 
have had use the space bar by holding it down and automatically checking 
off each box as fast as you can. Am I missing something on how to do 
this now?

I am using GnuCash 2.6.1 on a el cheapo HP computer using Ubuntu 14.04.1 
as the OS.

Thanks,

Ken
