Hello! Please help me to solve the problem.
Every time I put a sticker, text, a picture etc. on the board, it swithes to selection mode (?). I mean erlier I could put an object on the board and immediately start moving around the board using the left button of my mouse.
Now every time I put an object on the board the left button of the mouse became “select”. And I can move around the board using the right button of the mouse only.
It’s uncomfortable to switch “select” off every time. How can I remove this function?
How can I turn off selection?

As far back I can remember, the cursor always switches from pan to select mode once you have added a new object - the logic being: if you added an object, it is very likely that you will want to select it and modify/move it.

Yon can still do this if you click on a blank spot on the board (or a locked object). Once caveat being you must not be in trackpad navigation mode - left-click-and-drag while in trackpad mode will do a multi-select, just like Shift+drag.
Quick switching between select/pan
In case you didn’t know, these hotkeys may be helpful:
Switching between select/pan modes
Try using hotkeys to select a certain object or pan across the board:
- Use V and H hotkeys to switch between the select/edit mode (cursor tool) and the hand/pan mode
- Spacebar - temporarily activates the hand/pan mode. Keep Spacebar pressed to pan across the boards without messing up the built structures
✏️ You can also activate the select mode on the toolbar.

Hello! Thank you for advice. I use Google Chrome only. Unfortunately, I still didn’t solve the problem with this thing.
