Can’t select the VCC Vias in this image or the track on the bottom layer that joins the 2 Vias.
Other tracks in the image behave as I would expect.
Is this a bug and is there a workaournd?

First thing to check if you have via’s turned off in the selection filter in the lower right corner.
It is on. I have no problem selecting other vias.
DRC on the pcb gives me errors as shown.
Try these thee options:
- Drag a box around it from left to right.
- Drag a box around it from right to left.
- Depress the left mouse button on the via and keep it depressed for about a second until the “clarify selection” box pops up.
If neither of those methods work, then upload a version of the PCB which has at least a few of the offending and a few correctly behaving vias on it so I or someone else here can have a look at it.
Yep have tried all those and just double checked.
Will upload the pcb file.
Posted it here by accident!
I have no problem with selecting the via. However, it can not be manipulated becaue it’s locked, and Locked Items is off in your Selection filter, so locked items are ignored.
If you enable the selection of locked items in the Selection Filter, then KiCad asks for an extra confirmation what you want to do with locked items.
Thanks Paul. Any idea how I managed to lock it?
Pressing the L key at any time a selection is active would do it.
(Euhm, that’s lower case l, but that’s to much like: I, i and 1. )
Also, reading the manual may help a bit sometimes.
It’s in the menu under Help
Thanks Paul - will try manual next time.
