Issue with being able to select and move around objects in Play mode in Studio

So first off I would like to say I am not sure if this is the right category but it effects the lobby I am working on for my game while testing so this seemed like the best fit.

Anyways, recently studio has been causing me to be able to select objects when in Play mode as if I was building or not testing. This normally doesn’t happen as you have your cursor when play testing, but I can highlight objects and move them around on the client. This get’s in the way of testing games so I was wondering if there was a way to fix it

Edit: I forgot to mention. I am able to move all objects but when I set the Locked value to true I am no longer able to select them or move them

Here is a video clip of the issue:

In the video you can see it and it makes more sense. That shouldn’t be happening as far as I am aware. I am not sure what is causing. I have tried to solve the issue by:
Reinstalling Studio, restarting my pc many times, and looking up the issue. Each attempt at a solution brought me no where closer to fixing the issue. I think this could be a bug with studio but I am not entirely sure. If this isn’t and there is a way to toggle this I would like to know. Otherwise I would like to know if there is anything to solve my problem.

Yeah… turns out I didn’t actually notice I selected that… Not my finest moment, but thank you for pointing out a blind mistake.

I’ve noticed this problem too. One of the more recent updates made the select tool on by default during play mode. If I deselect the select tool during play mode then it stays deselected when I return to build mode, which I find a bit annoying. Why make it be on by default? I can understand having it as an option in case you need to get through a wall or skip part of something like an obby when testing, but the scenarios where you’d have to do that must be extremely rare. It’d be nice if you didn’t have to hit ctrl-1 each time you test your game for normal behavior, then do it again when you leave play mode so you can actually click on stuff.

Yeah. This seems to sum up the issue entirely. Makes it really annoying to play test as I end up selecting an item when trying to do things with guis as I sometimes forget it is selected. I made the post cause I had thought something was wrong with my studio as normally that option is deselected in play mode
