This seems like a really weird thing to be happening, I don't think it's a setting, but I thought I'd check.
I've been using Hammer for a couple weeks now with no problems until recently. As far as I can tell, it started when I opened a reference map for HL2DM (dm_lockdown I think). I was looking through stuff and I found I could no longer select entities in the 3D view - only in 2D. This was extremely annoying, to say the least. Working on my own maps, the problem persisted though. Now I can't even select faces - whenever I click on a face, it has a good chance of just randomly selecting another face behind it as though it isn't there. This is the same thing that happens with entities - it just selects stuff behind it as though they don't exist. This makes texturing literally impossible and it is very difficult to edit the properties of entities. It seems really random what stuff it selects, so I have no idea how to describe what's really happening and no clue as to what's going on.
Thanks.
Also, if no one knows, would deleting the local game content for the SDK and then getting it all again get it back to how it was when I first started using it, or would it somehow be in the registry or something?
