Nope. You had your pointer over the third-from-right button in the 
message box, "Intelligence acts on mouseControl". What it does is 
make property names typed into the message box act on the object 
under the mouse. For example, if you type in "name" and hit 
Return/Enter, the message box tells you the name of the object the 
mouse pointer is over.

The other setting is "Intelligence acts on selectedObject", which 
does what you'd expect.
