Selecting entire clip in browser

When I select a clip in the browser it automatically selects an area rather than the entire clip. I can then hit "X" to select the entire clip each time, but that it tedious. I'm sure there is a way that I can autoselect the entire clip each time because I used to do that. But for the life of me I can't remember what I did so that happens. Is there an option or setting to always just select the entire clip and stop clicking "X"??

Are you clicking a video clip or a still image? A video clip should select the entire clip. The still image selection duration is set in preferences. The still import duration is 10 seconds.

Thank you, Tom, for your prompt reply.  Yes, it is still images on which I am  clicking. Clicking on a video image selects the entire clip. I checked Preferences and somehow the duration had been reset to 4 seconds from 10, so that has solved most of the problems. Thank you! Yet some still images are only partially selected, so am not sure why that occurs. You can see that the image on the left is only partially selected while the one on the right is entirely selected.

You can clear all ranges with CMD+A, then OPT+X, then each clip selection will be unrestricted.

Thank you. Yes, I am aware of those key commands, but wasn't aware that would make every clip unrestricted in the future. Will definitely give it a try and thanks for your reply.
