Unity Inspector stuck on one object,Unity Inspector stuck on one item (Not locked)

Question

The inspector is currently stuck on one object, and I can't focus on other objects in the scene. And no, the inspector is not locked, I also tried locking and unlocking again just to make sure, and no the problem wasn't that. What could be the reason for this?,I tried editing a scene in Unity today, and when I clicked on one object, it was focused in inspector. This is normal behavior, but when I clicked any other object on the scene, the inspector left focused on the same object. I tried locking and unlocking the inspector tab, and it sure wasn't the solution. Any other reason this could be happening?

This does work, but it needs to be done again every single time you change your object.

I wrote a script that does this automatically: https://forum.unity.com/threads/i-have-a-blank-inspector-panel.450626/#post-6666409

Thank you for this; What version is everyone using? (2019.3.10f1) and has anyone solved it completely?

I found that restarting the editor and my computer fixed the problem, and it hasn’t happened since.

Ok, I've found a solution that works for me. Or rather discovered when this issue occurs. Occasionally when I use "V" snapping or "shift+move" it gets stuck in the inspector.
Simply use"shift+move" again and then undo + deselect.

Edit: Managed to record me doing the fix:

It happened again today. Grabbed a video of the problem, Shift + drag fixes it!

This solution did not work for me. Definitely feels related to "V" snapping as I was just using snapping before the issue started occurring.

Unity 2019.4.9

going to debug and back makes it refocus on whichever new object you've selected, but then it stays focused on that object until you toggle debug again. It's hard to believe that a game engine would have such a bug. Edit: Turns out restarting Unity cleared the bug.

Kinda glad to see I'm not alone having this issue. The normal < > Debug fix works, but it's not a solution I can work with... There's got to be another fix??
