 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Indeed, these checkboxes no longer exist, as the editing interface is closer 
   to that of common spreadsheet software like Excel. Rows/columns can be selected
   directly there. However, it is not possible to select multiple rows/columns that
   are not next to each other at this time. I’m really sorry about that. I hope 
   to be able to make that work again soon!
 * By the way: You can now also use a right-click context menu as well as keyboard
   shortcuts (these are shown in that context menu) to quickly perform certain actions,
   so that you might now have to do too much selecting of rows/columns beforehand.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
