Hi Roboflow team and community, I’m encountering a strange issue when trying to edit keypoints in the annotation tool. The problem is that I can’t create new keypoint annotations — instead, when I click on the canvas, it behaves as if the mouse button is constantly held down, resulting in an area selection (as if I were trying to select something). This happens in keypoints editing mode , regardless of whether I’m: - Creating a new class - Editing an existing one - Working on different projects - Working in different workspaces What I’ve tried: - Different browsers: Chrome and Firefox - Different OS: Windows 11 and Linux Mint - Multiple mice — all working fine in other applications The issue persists across all of them,. I’ve attached a screenshot showing the behavior — you can see that clicking results in a selection area instead of placing a keypoint. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas for a workaround or fix? Thanks in advance! ![{F3BBA7A8-E3EC-4875-936E-5B52B46A33FA}](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/roboflow1/original/2X/d/d727bc773c2e692e2e144295a56fd3d67af3bcbc.png) ---

Yep, I’m seeing that as well when I try to edit keypoints. Right click releases the “hold” but I don’t see a way to start a new keypoint, etc. ---

Hi all, we just released a fix for this issue, and functionality should be fully restored. Can you try again? ---
