iD editor: Unable to select anything

Hi all,

for a few days now I am not able to select neither nodes nor lines with the iD editor. It is highlighted when I mouse over, but the click of the left mouse button does nothing. Is it a bug or a keyboard shortcut, that I activated by accident? Thanks for your help.

Hmm, works for me (iD 2.1.3 in desktop Firefox 52.0). Please could you mention your versions?

Sure. iD 2.1.3 with Chrome, Version 56.0.2924.87 on Win10

I have been having the same issue happen in Chrome - and it reappears not long after updating my Chrome version.
I've noticed that it seems to trigger when I have unsaved changes that are slowing down the editor - and I'm trying to select things (a tag, for instance) before the browser is making it available. A browser close (COMPLETE close - kill any chrome instances in Task Manager as well) will fix the issue... But I've discovered that a SHIFT-click to select will work in a pinch if you're trying to finish something before you save.
I'll also post this on the original question from a year ago, since I feel its relevance overshadows commenting on an old discussion.

Chrome has to be updated (Help --> About Chrome). Afterwards everything works fine again. Question was already asked. Thanks to Amaryllis for the answer. https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/41129/id-editor-in-chrome-browser-i-click-on-existing-objects-and-it-does-not-select-them/42698

This only worked temporarily. Even with an updated Chrome browser I cannot select anything again.
