In Blender 3.2 - I have created 10 cubes using an array modifier having a relative offset the same as the side of the cube. After I apply the array modifier; when I select its faces, I don't see any overlapping vertices, but the checker deselect doesn't work, it only deselected the active cell. The object seems to work as an array of separate objects rather than 1 object. Do you know how to fix it?

I have tried to separate by loose parts and join again, but it did not help.

When I do the same using an object created through repeating face extrude, the checker deselect works as expected.

Checker deselect only work on contiguous selection.

Make sure all the faces are connected by using the Merge (Alt+M) -> By Distance tool

Then the checker deselect should work.

You can avoid this step in the future by enabling 'merge' on the array modifier like the comments pointed out
