Really odd ... tried fixing for half an hour!

Trying to use any of the tools on a layer eg. select or paint or erase etc

Click on select, quick selection (but could be any tool, same issue)

Click on the layer

... but then the layer is selected with the 4 x handles at the edge, and only responds to being resized or moved or transformed ... I lose the tool I wanted to use.

Must be something really simple! Both 'select' and 'deselect' are greyed-out, I'm stuck on the handles.

Any advice much appreciated!

Hey there. I'm having trouble reproducing this. :thinking: Would you be able to share any screenshots or a video of your steps?

Sure
snip 1 - loading the file
snip 2 - click colour selection

... I just did the above then found it works

There appeared to be a bug / issue but I can't reproduce myself now!

Ah, I see. Hopefully, it was a one-off!
