Cannot unselect element

[ribik]

When is Adobe going to fix this eternal bug that has existed forever.  Once a day or more, when I work on a document, I get a stuck element that won't unselect itself with mouse click. It just stays actively selected even if I select another element (it just keeps both elements selected). Sometimes I have to look through my layers panel to find that rogue selected element and unselect it from there, but it is painstaking when you have hundreds of layers. Sometimes I have to close the document and reopen it to make it go away.

Time to get this bug moved to the top of the cue and get it fixed Adobe.

You could try submitting a request to Feature Request/Bug Report Form

In the meantime you might find it handy to use the Ctrl Shift A (WIndows) or Command Shift A (Mac) keyboard shortcut to deselect all.

when you find any strange and abnormal things in your software you can reset your software.

By Clicking Ctrl+Alt+shift in Windows or Cmd+Option+Shift in Mac OS

In Windows: close your software and open it again but when you press to open it you should immediately press Ctrl+Alt+shift sor seconds.

In Mac OS: Close your app & open it again and before that hold pressing on Cmd+Shift+Alt and keep pressing even you pressed on the app to open.
