I have no idea what to do here. I installed the toolkit but i cannot find what you describe.
Could you upload a screen shot of this control panel?
Thanks.

Ok. Thanks a lot.
But finally i'll fixed this multibrush problem.
Just for fun i tested in thief gold dromed, that worked fine.
Then, why not test my second thief 2 install. It worked fine there too.
I started to copy files from the second install until i found the "problem file".
It was user.cfg. I had not changed anything in it from the second install.
But the Dromed window size in the primary Dromed install.
I had it set to 1680x1050 and in windows to 1920x1080.
When i changed to 1440x900 in user.cfg it worked fine again.
I don't know why, but the dromed window sizes does not work between
1440x900 and 1680x1050 for me. So Dromed does not fill the screen.

So that clicking+selecting bug is a resolution problem?

You need to define the non-standard screen sizes in cam.cfg with the user_mode configuration variable before you can use them. Look it up in the Newdark documentation (new_config_vars.txt). Here are a few examples:
user_mode 2 2304 1440 16
user_mode 3 2048 1280 16
user_mode 4 1600 1000 16
user_mode 5 1600 1024 32
user_mode 6 2304 1440 32
user_mode 7 2048 1280 32
user_mode 8 1600 1000 32

cam_ext.cfg

Put the non-standard screen sizes in either cam.cfg or cam_ext.cfg, just not both or you'll get confused as to what you have defined. I forget the order that the config files are read in, but the last one read rules. It make no difference as to which config file has which configuration setting. The separation of configuration settings into multiple config files is only to help keep things organized.

fibanocci: It seems that way, i know it sounds weird. But it worked for me anyway.
So if anyone else have this problem, try it.
LarryG and fibanocci:
I tried
Code:
user_mode1 1600 900 32 16 9
in both cam.cfg and cam_ext.cfg, not the same time. First at the end of cam.cfg.
Then like this in cam_ext.cfg
Code:
user_mode1 1600 900 32 16 9
; 2880x900 32bpp 16:5
;user_mode2 2880 900 32 16 5
; 6144x1536 32bpp - three 4:3 monitors at 2048x1536 each, gives an aspect ratio of 4*3:3
;user_mode3 6144 1536 32 12 3
; 3840x1024 32bpp - three 4:3 monitors at 1280x1024 each gives an aspect ratio of 4*3:3
;user_mode4 3840 1536 32 12 3
; 3200×2048 32bpp 25:16 (WQSXGA)
;user_mode5 3200 2048 32 25 16
and
Code:
;user_mode1 1600 768 32 25 12
; 2880x900 32bpp 16:5
;user_mode2 2880 900 32 16 5
; 6144x1536 32bpp - three 4:3 monitors at 2048x1536 each, gives an aspect ratio of 4*3:3
;user_mode3 6144 1536 32 12 3
; 3840x1024 32bpp - three 4:3 monitors at 1280x1024 each gives an aspect ratio of 4*3:3
;user_mode4 3840 1536 32 12 3
; 3200×2048 32bpp 25:16 (WQSXGA)
;user_mode5 3200 2048 32 25 16
user_mode1 1600 900 32 16 9
I just guess that it shouldn't be a ; in the beginning.
Dromed still open up in, i guess, 800x600.
fibanocci on 18/10/2015 at 17:08
Put this in user.cfg as well
edit_screen_size 1600,900
(at least, this is what I did with a way bigger resolution)
btw, I'm running the game in windowed mode, if that matters (force_windowed)
LarryG on 18/10/2015 at 18:43
User_modeN defines the screen size for DromEd and Thief. You still have to specify that you want to use it once defined with edit_screen_size and/or game_screen_size in one of your config files (I suggest the same config file where you have the User_modeN specification, just so that you can easily find them all when you want to change your setup). Note that edit and game screen sizes don't need to be the same.
for example:
user_mode8 1600 1000 32
edit_screen_size 1680 1050
game_screen_size 1600 1000
