Can't select objects in scene window since updating to 5.1.2p3
I just updated to Unity 5.1.2p3 and am running into... I can't select a single mesh like I was able to do just an hour ago before I updated. I can only select entire groups via a window select or from the Hierarchy window.
Yes I am in a SCENE WINDOW. Yes I've checked and the LAYERS are all unlocked. I've closed and reopened Unity and it is still happening.
Very frustrating!!!
Its gotta be a bug, you might have to download and install again.
I just tried to reinstall the new update, no fix. Still can't select single objects in the viewport. I can only select groups via a lasso. :(
Okay, this is getting frustrating. I started a new project and I could select the objects directly for that day. Then when I opened the project up on $$anonymous$$onday, I can't select the objects again.... I can't keep building new projects every day. Is anyone else running into this???
Can´t select anything at all in the scene window in 5.1.3f3, too.

I've also had this exact problem after updating to 5.2.0f3. I was able to fix the problem by closing the Scene tab and adding a new one.
Hope this helps.
THAT WOR$$anonymous$$ED! Great idea! I just started a new project the other day and I not only couldn't select things, I couldn't drag and drop materials to objects in the scene. I was like WTF is going on???
I closed the scene window and created a new one and Unity 5 is finally working the way it's suppose to. Thanks :)

I can select an object from the hierarchy list, or by windowing over the entire object. I can still work, but it is frustrating when I have a ton of objects in a scene and I have to go find it in the hierarchy list to select it. I keep objects nested in groups to keep things organized, and now I have to go searching for ANY object. The crazy thing is, clicking on an object worked last week, but then when I reopened the project, it stopped working. This is only since I updated to the new patch. :(

Have had the same issue here - I wasn't sure if i'd hit the wrong button somewhere.... So I moved all files from "Project Settings" to see 'what would happen' -(Unity recreates them when it loads the prpject anyway) i lost all my baked maps etc but was then able to select objects again as normal.

May be that's because you've locked all layers? You can check it in the Layers Drop-Down (Top-Right corner of the screen). If lock icon is ticked untick it.

I had this today, I had followed advice on a different post about locking a layer and hadn't made the connection that this had caused the behaviour. To "fix" it I clicked on the layers dropdown and unticked the padlock by UI.
