Illustrator randomly deselects the object, path, or group I'm working on

This started yesterday. I'll have something selected that I'm working on and suddenly it gets deselected.

 

Some examples: if I'm adjusting the gradient on an object, it deselects and I have to click it again. Working inside a selected group and deselects kicking me out of the group. Or I'll have the group selected in isolation mode but new shapes/paths I make are placed in a separate layer outside of the group. Using the pen tool and it deselects the path when I'm about to place the next anchor point. All at random intervals.

 

I have tried: 1. Restarting Illustrator 2. Restarting my laptop 3. Uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator 4. Resetting my preferences 5. Reinstalling older versions of Illustrator, and nothing has worked.

Update: I think I fixed it, there was a missing linked pattern image that I think was causing a glitch. Brought everything into a new file, removed the pattern link and the problem stopped
