Camera problem

Whenever i select the camera, i can’t select other objects and i’m unable to deselect it
any suggestions ?

Check if the selection feature is disabled.

No, it’s not everything is enabled

If you share the file, we can check if you have the same problem.

Alternatively, you can try to initialize the blender.
(Back up settings before initialization)

There are different selection options available when you click and hold on the selection box in the toolbar…

You are using the “Select Box” in your screenshot. Which means you need to drag a box around objects to select them. I would suggest using “Tweak” which is the default setting.

  • Tweak
  • Select Box (you are here)
  • Select Circle
  • Select Lasso

Alternatively, using the MOVE tool (hitting G or selecting it from the toolbar) will give you similar results.

If none of that makes a difference, it’s difficult to troubleshoot without more data… such as, can you still select/deselect things in the outliner? Do you have a lot of addons enabled (one of them may be interfering with selection), etc.

everytime i select the camera the cursor turns into this shape and i become unable of selecting other objects, what’s that supposed to mean ? :

And for selecting/deselcting objects from the outliner, yes i can. but even ‘’ Tweak ‘’ doesn’t make a difference

Did you hit G ?? …and while moving the mouse the view changes slighlty…

no, i didn’t

I think we need a video recording for this. a screenshot will not show the cursor and the issue you have…

meanwhile if you’re in a rush maybe you can start by resetting your preferences:
