Cannot Select Individual Layers in a Group Folder with Control+Left Mouse Click

Yes!

You found the answer to your question. The Group option was selected in the Options bar instead of layer. Good job! Thanks for sharing your issue and it's resolution.

Reply #2. After more messing around, I found on the top bar there's an "Auto Select: Dropdown" option and it had group set. I changed it to Layer and turned auto select on. But that selected the layers by just clicking on them. 

I switched to the paintbrush and then back, and now it works as intended. So I'm not sure what I did there, but that seems to have done the trick? Still seems weird. Now it's set off and when I hold down shift, it temporarily turns on Auto-Select. But whatever it works as I expect it to.

I should have mentioned that I have a new computer and I'm still going through the settings to set it up like my old computer and this might have been one of them.

I forgot to mention that this is for clicking on the actual image, and not the layers list.
