If I have \ref{abc} and double-click on the right brace, TS highlights "{abc}", as I expect, but a double-click on the left brace highlights "\ref{abc".   I liked the old behavior  and hope we could get it back.

Howdy,

If you use this feature you might consider setting TeXShop->Preferences->Source->Parens Matching Settings->Highlight Enclosed Characters as well as the {} setting in ...->Parens Targets & Highlight Color. Then when you cross a { or } with the insertion point (not clicking) the matching braces will be highlighted in the Highlight Color and the text in between will be selected with a yellow background.

Good Luck,
