Unable to highlight/edit objects

Schematic
1

I’ve encountered something weird. I am suddenly unable to select any object with the select tool in my schematic. I seem to be able to create new objects (traces, vias et c) but after that, they can’t be selected. Also, toggling ratsnets doesn’t work anymore.

Not sure if this is a bug, or an accidental setting on my part. I know that the last thing I did prior to this was selecting and moving multiple traces to make room for a new one. Restarting KiCad doesn’t help…

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

There is a discrepancy in your question. First you write about “schematic” and afterwards you write about traces/vias which belong to the board, not to the schematic. Please clarify. please also mention the kicad-version.

Just a fast guess: in pcbnew (board-editor) there is a new selection-filter integrated in kicad v6 on the bottom right of the screen. There it’s possible to enable/disable selection of many item-types.

Yes, good call. By schematic I mean PCB layout. I’m using version 6.0.

Thanks for your feedback, I’ll check the selection filter when I’m back tomorrow.

Thank you! Reenabling items did the trick.
