Hi all,

I have been experiencing a bug where If I select the pipe draw tool and then select the toggle selection tool I can no longer select elements on the page.

The only way to fix it , is close the page and reopen it.

The version of ignition I am using is 8.1.45 (b2025010709)

Has anyone else also experienced this?

I haven't seen anyone report this. Sounds like it is worth reporting to IA support. (Open a ticket.)
