I can't hide/show, lock/unlock and delete elements or change the tool i'm using

[Ernany Gonçalves]

Hi, 

following the "spirit of inktober", I used the opportunity to exercise my illustrator skills. And today when I was working, everything "stoped."

My tool icon indicator became a "pencil with a not allowed icon".

And when I click on the icon to hide/show or lock/unlock, the icon indicator shows that changed and return to the same state that was before. Even the elements that are not locked, I can select, hide/show 😕

I dont know if I used a command by mistake or is my computer processing power.

Which tool are you trying to use?

[Ernany Gonçalves]

Hi Monika! 

Doesn't matter... all of them have this icon minus the Zoom Tool.
It still "works" but I cant zoom out only holding alt. Normally I could click and drag to left/right to control the zoom.

Without a clear description nobody will be able to help you. Your initial post was about the forbidden cursor. Now it's the zoom tool ...

When was the last time you rebooted the computer? Maybe it's time?

The solution was a mistery. I clicked in each icon to see which one still "works". After that I hid the layer and could manage the other stuff. I showed again... everything was normal
