How can I turn off selection?

Olga an issue with firefox seemed to emerge overnight. Try changing browsers if you are on FF. Chrome seems to work ‘in the good old way’ (see other thread)

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.

earlier I could put an object on the board and immediately start moving around the board using the left button of my mouse

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.
