I’ve recently ran into this problem where I’m unable to select newer parts on my map, although the older ones work perfectly fine.
The video attached below shows how I no longer can select the parts inside the model when I duplicate it, though it still works when it’s not duplicated, as I said above - newer models on the map cannot be selected, but old ones can.
I’ve tried restarting and even reinstalling Roblox Studio and it still did not seem to work, I’ve even tried to switch to the old draggers, instead of the new beta feature draggers. None of the parts are locked or anything like that.
As you can see, it still works when I drag and click, but when I simply try to click or alt click it doesn’t work and doesn’t even show the selection outline.
Edit: I realised this only happens in this place, I’ve tried it in a different game and it works perfectly fine. Weird.
I hope you have found a solution by now…it seems like you have been struggling quite a bit!
It is possible that the part you are trying to select is locked. In the image below, there is a button called “Lock” to the right of the color editor.
If you click it, hover your cursor over the part that you cannot select.
You should see a lock in the place of your cursor.
If the lock is closed (there will be a red arrow next to the lock pointing up), this is why you are unable to select the part. Click the part to raise the lock and then deselect the lock from the Home section. Now, if you try to select the part, it should work.
As I’ve already said, I checked and made sure that the parts weren’t locked. In the video I attached you can see that it only happens on a newer object (for example, one that was just placed in does not work, but a part that was on the map for a while is still selectable)
I am also facing the same issue at the moment after restarting studio multiple times, restarting my PC, and disabling all my plugins. Are we expected to copy maps to different games every time this issue occurs?
I have the same issue, i tried to copy the whole game to new file, trying new collision group, duplicate parts. Before this bug i didnt changed the collision group and all parts are set to “Default”. Some of them are working, some not. And when i duplicate parts also all of them arent working.
Idk what to now, the bug is very annoying.
No amount of workarounds is working to circumvent this bug. Regardless of what solutions I’ve seen and tried invariably selection becomes persistent on any given object, locking me out of selecting anything else in the viewport.
Is there any developer insight into what causes a selection to become persistent like that?
